RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to execute a Purchase Order with Experian Health Inc., in an amount not to exceed $356,400, for purchase of subscription and support services for Electronic Claims and Remittance Systems Software, for the period July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Funding is included in the Hospital Enterprise Fund I Budget.

BACKGROUND:

Since 2001 the Patient Accounting Department has used Experian Health revenue cycle products to simplify claims processing, and expedite receipt of payments. Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) uses the following Experian Health modules for accurate posting of payments and adjustments: (1) Electronic Claims Processing, (2) Remittance and Payment Processing, (3) Real-time Transactions Eligibility, and (4) Financial Reporting. This application also meets Epic guidelines for Medicare Rules.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The subscription and support services are governed by the existing Master Customer Agreement between the County and Experian.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Purchase Order is not approved, the Department will not receive critical software updates and may lead to significant hospital Revenue impact to CCHS.
