According to the request for information posted on SAM.gov Wednesday, the potential contractor will provide analytic support and technical assistance for models and demonstration programs derived under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or ACA. This will include the design, implementation and evaluation of research, as well as payment and service delivery models for testing the possibility of reducing expenses for Medicare, Medicaid, Children’s Health Insurance Program and uninsured beneficiaries without sacrificing the quality of care.
