Offeror must provide a description of the methods to be used that will convincingly demonstrate to the State how the services outlined below will be provided and the work will be accomplished to meet each of the requirements. 3.2.1 Solicitation & Contract Assistance. The State desires to develop and release an RFP for TPA services in August 2015, with the TPA services anticipated to begin January 1, 2016. Offerors shall provide technical assistance in preparing RFP* specifications, drafting proposed contract terms, and analyzing and comparing proposals for the following third-party administered options: Self- funded Medical Benefit Plan: Claims processing; provider network; case management; disease management; and other services; and Pharmacy Benefit: PBM, specialty drug, and drug consultation services. The State is contemplating using one of two proposal methods to secure services related to its Plan. The first is the standard all-inclusive proposal where the TPA is responsible for all functions (network, claim processing, claim, case management, and disease management). The second is a model that separates these functions to allow different vendors to compete for a specific function.
