Introduction: This sources sought notice is for information and planning purposes only and shall not be construed as a solicitation or as an obligation on the part of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The VA is currently conducting market research to locate qualified, experienced and interested potential sources. Responses will not be considered as proposals, nor will any award be incurred by interested parties in responding to this sources sought announcement. The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) is seeking interested sources (contractors) for a near-future solicitation and procurement for International Classification of Diseases, 10th Edition, (ICD-10) Procedure Coding System/Clinical Modification (PCS/CM) implementation support services.

ICD-10 will replace the ICD-9-CM diagnosis code set in all health care settings for diagnosis reporting with dates of service, or dates of discharge for inpatients, that occur on or after October 1, 2013. VHA utilizes ICD-10 codes for a variety of purposes, such as: clinical studies, performance measurement, workload capture, cost determination, Veterans Equitable Resource Allocation (VERA), classifying morbidity and mortality, indexing of hospital records by disease and operations, data storage and retrieval, and reimbursement. III. Requirements: The VA, potentially in conjunction with other Federal agencies, seeks support for the implementation of ICD-10 for all modes of operations, including but not limited to recording clinical diagnosis and procedures, reporting, reimbursement, and statistical analysis.

"Revenue - billing and collection process with third-party payers "Claims adjudication - non-VA purchased care processing of payments to community providers "Help Desk for code assignment support - provide guidance based on information provided, written or verbal, for the assignment of codes used in clinical classification systems and official coding guidelines.
