Description

This is a basic ordering agreement for the period of September 12, 2014 to August 31, 2019 with four (4) one (1) year options, in accordance with FAR 16.7. A contract is formed, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement, when VA agrees to place a patient in the nursing home and the nursing home agrees to accept the patient. Upon acceptance by the contractor of beneficiaries of Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), all terms and conditions of this agreement shall apply during such time as a VA patient remains in that nursing home at the expense of VA. The total estimated value of this agreement, including all options, is $615,476.00 ? DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK B.1. This Basic Ordering Agreement shall be conducted under the procedures of FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 13.5. The nursing home shall ensure that care meets the health needs and promotes the maximum well-being of VA patients. Nursing home care shall be furnished to ensure the total medical, nursing, and psycho-social needs of VA beneficiaries. Physician visits, laboratory, X ray, and other special services for VA patients shall be at the same frequency as that provided to other patients at the nursing home receiving the same or comparable level of care. In addition, the care provided shall include room, meals, nursing care, and other services or supplies commensurate with the VA authorized level of care, without extra charge. The per diem rate(s) established in this BOA shall include the cost of medical care, drugs, laboratory, x ray, and other special services authorized by VA, unless otherwise specifically excepted. B.2. Full attention shall be given to motivating and educating patients to achieve and maintain independence in the activities of daily living, to the maximum extent possible. Every effort shall be made to keep patients ambulatory and to achieve an optimal level of self-care. B.3. Veterans receiving care under this agreement, who begin to require acute hospital care, shall be readmitted to an appropriate VA facility, as determined and authorized by the VA. When such admission is not feasible because of the nature of the emergency, it is agreed that hospitalization in a non-Federal facility shall be accomplished provided VA authorization is obtained. VA authorization must be obtained as soon as possible and shall be obtained within 72 hours of admission to the non-Federal facility. If hospitalization of a non-emergency nature is required, it is agreed that readmission to a VA facility shall be accomplished as soon as the patient's condition is sufficiently stabilized to permit admission to VA. B.4. If a veteran is re-hospitalized from the nursing home, the nursing home and VA facility shall arrange to hold a bed in reserve, when such a decision is in the best interest of the patient and the VA. The number of covered bed hold days shall be determined by VA on a case-by-case basis, but shall not exceed the number of bed hold days allowed by state Medicaid regulations. Payment shall follow state Medicaid regulations. The VA facility shall include payment for these "bed hold" days only when the conditions above are met. B.5. the VA facility shall approve leave days (days away from the nursing home) for long-term placements. The leave must be part of a therapeutic plan and approved by VA. Leave days at VA expense are limited to 6 days per calendar year. Payment shall follow state Medicaid regulations. Exceptions shall be approved by the VA facility director or designee. B.6. Patients receiving care under this contract, who begin to require more than the level of care authorized by VA, shall be readmitted to an appropriate VA facility, as determined and authorized by VA. When such admission is not feasible because of the nature of the emergency, it is agreed that hospitalization in a non-Federal facility shall be accomplished provided VA authorization is obtained. VA authorization must be obtained within 72 hours of admission of the patient to a non-Federal facility. If hospitalization of a non-emergency nature is required, it is agreed that readmission to a VA Medical Center shall be accomplished as soon as the patient's condition is sufficiently stabilized to permit admission to VA. B.7. In the event a VA beneficiary receiving nursing home care under this BOA dies, the nursing home shall within 48 hours notify the VA office authorizing admission and immediately assemble, inventory, and safeguard the patient's personal effects pending further guidance by VA. B.8. It is agreed that VA shall have the right to on-site reviews of the nursing home and all appurtenances by authorized VA representative(s) to ensure that acceptable standards are maintained and that the necessary care to maintain the well-being of the patient is rendered. B.9. The nursing home shall accept referral of and shall provide all services specified in this BOA for any person determined eligible by the VA Under Secretary for Health or his/her designee, regardless of the race, color, religion, sex, or national origin of the person for whom such services are ordered. In addition, the nursing home warrants that subcontracting shall not be resorted to as a means of circumventing this provision. B.10. It is agreed that duly authorized representatives of VA shall provide follow up supervision visits to veterans placed to assure the continuity of care and to assist in the veteran's transition back to the community. It is understood that these visits do not substitute for nor relieve the nursing home in any way of the responsibility for the daily care and medical treatment of the veteran. B.11. All medical records concerning the veteran's care in the nursing home shall be readily accessible to VA. Upon discharge or death of the patient, medical records shall be retained by the nursing home for a period of at least three years following termination of care. Patient records shall be maintained in conformance with the Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. 552a). A medical record shall be maintained for each patient that includes at least the following: B.11.1. Admission identification record. B.11.2. VA Form 10 1204, Referral for Community Nursing Home Care, or State-approved referral form. B.11.3. Admitting evaluation (including diagnosis by nursing home physician). B.11.4. Physician orders. B.11.5. Progress notes. The physician orders/notes shall be charted immediately after patient is seen. B.11.6. Special reports (laboratory, x ray, activity,). B.11.7. SMA Patient Assessment Form (****only if SMA level of care is used****). B.11.8. Minimum Data Set (MDS) information, provided to VA upon admission and every six months thereafter.
