This Request for Proposal (RFP) is to obtain the services of a vendor to operate in accordance with this RFP’s scope of work to identify third parties who are responsible for payment of the health, medical care, and other benefits available under the Department’s programs. The Department is also seeking the services of a vendor to prepare HIPAA compliant claims for submission to third parties from information provided by the Department.
