This is a Task Order for one year (with three months of optional transition) of IT System Development and Support Services to create and maintain a large data collection system for several types of Medicare data. The proposed modification will modify the POP to add one additional year. Known as the Fee for Service Data Collection System (FFSDCS), this system collects three types of data; Clinical laboratory data, Part B drug information, and survey data from Ambulance providers. Although each module is independent, they share a common backbone infrastructure. This data collection system currently collects private payer data from Medicare Part B applicable clinical laboratories that manufacture laboratory tests that are paid on the Clinical Laboratory Fee Schedule (CLFS) as required by The Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA) of 2014 (HR4302). This system also currently collects quarterly data from drug manufacturers used to calculate the average sales price (ASP) as required by section 1847A of the Social Security Act needed pay for Medicare Part B drugs. This system collects cost, revenue, and other information from ambulance providers and suppliers as required by section 50203(b) of The Bipartisan Budget Act (BBA) of 2018.
