Jurisdiction E MAC Under Bid: Due November 4, 2019

Jurisdiction E, one of the largest MACs, especially from the perspective of molecular testing, is up for re-bid.

The federal Request for Proposals (RFP) for Jurisdiction E posted on August 20, 2019, with responses due November 4, 2019.   See website here, solicitation number  75FCMC19R0023.  The anticipated award date for the new contract was posted as August 4, 2020.  (Click through the documents at the bottom, 5 at a time, to see the most interesting document, the 150 page statement of work.  On my PC, I had to rename as a PDF-type file to open it.)  See my cloud copy of the statement of work here.  Pp. 47-50 describe medical director duties; there should be 3 FTE for this MAC.

In 2017/2018, NGS MAC protested the limit on total share of MAC workload that can be held by any one MAC.   It lost.  Here.  CMS caps workload of any one corporate entity to 26% of national MAC workload, and a group of companies shall not hold more than 40% of MAC workload.
