Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. The Minnesota Department of Information Technology Services (MNIT) partnering with the Department of Veterans Affairs (MDVA) intends to renew an agreement with Inovalon Provider, Inc. (Inovalon) for up to 12 months for software and support services for the Ability EASE Software Suite (EASE). EASE is used for viewing, editing, and submitting Medicare claims. Medicare data comes from a mainframe and the base service, Direct Data Entry (DDE), presents the data in a very raw format. EASE is Windows-based and presents the same data in a readable and user-friendly format with the capability to download to Excel. In addition, custom configurations and implementations have been incorporated so the software can integrate with MDVA’s system for veteran home resident healthcare records.
