- Description
- Special Notice Request for Information (RFI) Re: National Estimates of Annual Cost Sharing Amounts For Privately Insured Patients Who Use Physician Administered Drugs. The government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this request for information. This is not a request for proposals, nor a guarantee for a future solicitation. This is an exploratory request for information purposes only. There is no GAO contract to present at this time. GAO needs information to understand the feasibility of obtaining the information described below. GAO is seeking information on the availability of an electronic resource that can provide access to calendar year 2013 national estimates of annual cost sharing amounts for privately insured patients who used certain physician-administered drugs. These drugs, which will be identified by procedure code(s) and the associated National Drug Code(s), are typically covered under the medical benefit of an insurance plan rather than the pharmacy benefit. The annual cost sharing estimates will be used along with information on drug coupon programs to examine the potential magnitude of manufacturer discounts provided to patients using these drugs and the effect that these discounts may have on Medicare spending on Part B drugs. This Request for Information (RFI) is being issued consistent with and in the spirit of an exchange of information with industry as per Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 10. This RFI is prepared for planning purposes only and is issued with the intent of obtaining price, delivery, capabilities, or other market information, and is not being issued with the intent of awarding a contract. In accordance with FAR 52.215-3, the Government will not pay for any information/items submitted in response to this synopsis. The Government will neither award a contract solely on the basis of this synopsis nor will it reimburse the contractor for any costs associated with preparing or submitting a response to this notice. This RFI is issued for information gathering purposes only. Interested parties are highly encouraged to participate. It is the intent that input gathered during this RFI process will directly influence scope and requirements of a future technical solution. Failure to participate in the RFI will not impact an interested party's ability to participate in any future competitive process, should GAO opt to pursue one. GAO reserves the right to cancel this RFI at any time. Please provide a response to this request no later than 2PM ET, Monday August 17, 2015, to Darion A. Phillips at phillipsda@gao.gov Questions may be submitted by e-mail to Darion A. Phillips.
