Summary

AI-generated · Aug 23, 2025

Open and Continuous Community Nursing Home RFQ requires bids for community nursing home services under new IDIQ contracts with PDPM-based pricing. PDPM will be the pricing method for new awards and will be used to modify contracts after September 30, 2025. PDPM was introduced by CMS in 2019, with many states adopting it and CMS discontinuing support for RUG rates in 2020; Alaska and Oregon have temporary carve-outs or Medicaid-only facilities in non-converted states. Going forward, contract prices and any modified prices will follow the Veterans Care Agreements fee schedule, published nationally, with VHA no longer negotiating rates; PDPM claims assistance will be provided during the transition.

An award has been issued for Caraday (Q402) to Stratford Hospital District for $6,431,100. This indicates the selected contractor for that scope, under the Caraday Q402 project.

Notice of Conversion to PDPM rates. Payment is issued IAW will use the Patient Driven Payment Model (PDPM) as the pricing method for new IDIQ contracts. VHA will also propose to modify current contracts in effect after September 30, 2025 to use PDPM. PDPM was introduced by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2019 and some states have adopted PDPM. CMS stopped supporting the Resource Utilization Groups (RUG) rates on in 2020. The temporary exceptions to this change are contracts awarded for Alaska and Oregon or awarded to a Medicaid-only nursing home in a state that has not yet converted to PDPM. Future contract prices and modified contract prices using PDPM will follow the same fee schedule used for Veterans Care Agreements (VCA). These rates are set nationally and published at https://www.va.gov/COMMUNITYCARE/revenue-ops/Fee-Schedule.asp. VHA will no longer negotiate rates. VHA will provide PDPM claims assistance during the transition.
