The Contractor will be required to maintain an active ongoing QA&I program, including quality assessment and utilization review, to ensure compliance with the terms and conditions of the resulting contract. As part of the provision for comprehensive inpatient/outpatient physician and hospital services, the BOP is preferring the services of a Contractor who will also agree to provide managed care oversight. These oversights include paid medical claim review/analysis and utilization/case management.
