Description
The Indian Health Service (IHS) Navajo Area is issuing a multiple‑award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for remote medical coding and data‑entry services. Contractors will provide outpatient, ambulatory, and inpatient coding (ICD‑10‑CM, ICD‑10‑PCS, CPT, HCPCS, etc.) and enter coded data into the IHS RPMS/PCC system. Work is performed on an as‑needed “call order” basis with no guaranteed minimum volume; each encounter is paid at a firm‑fixed per‑encounter rate. The contract is a 5‑year BPA (one‑year base plus up to four renewals) and requires all coding personnel to be U.S.‑based, hold current AHIMA/AAPC certifications, pass HSPD‑12 security clearance, and use contractor‑provided IT equipment. Performance standards include 95 % coding accuracy, specific turnaround times (5 business days for outpatient, 30 calendar days for inpatient), weekly deficiency reports, and monthly performance reports. The solicitation is set‑aside for 100 % Indian‑owned small businesses.
