(RFP) for Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) - Texas Health and ...

3.15.34 Proposed Fixed Fee Rates - Schedule 4
Proposed Fixed Fee Rates - Schedule 4 shows the All-Inclusive Hourly Labor Rate(s) /
individual Fixed Fee Rates proposed for the first 12 month Operational period (SFY 13) of a
resulting contract. The RAC’s compensation for other audit services related to fraud
investigations, other specific audits and any other service provided by the RAC that would not
be appropriate to utilize a contingency fee to compensate the RAC for those specific services
rendered will be based on Fixed Fees. The Fixed Fees will be based on individual Fixed Fee
Rates included in the Contract and the level of effort to perform a specific audit not paid on a
contingency basis, audit services related to fraud investigations or any other service provided by
the RAC that would not be appropriate to utilize a contingency fee to compensate the RAC for
those specific services rendered. The Fixed Fees for these services will be based on the
explicit fixed hourly rates proposed by the respondent and the projected number of hours to be
worked on the specific audit or specific project by the respondent’s staff or the staff of the
respondent’s subcontractor. Respondents must specify All-Inclusive Hourly Labor Rates for the
different types of staff that would be potentially working on audit services related to fraud
investigations or any other audit or other services that would be paid on a fixed fee basis. For
subsequent contract years (12 month Operational periods) and any applicable Operational
period less than 12 months, the Fixed Fees will be determined by the application of a fixed
annual inflator/deflator proposed by the respondent and subject to approval and acceptance by
HHSC. Please reference Section 6.3.3 of the RFP for additional information related to Fixed Fee
Rates.
Respondents are to propose their compensation rates using the Cost Proposal provided as
Attachment A to this RFP. All proposals for compensation must be presented in the format and
categories as prescribed in that attachment. No other categories of costs will be considered by
HHSC. No additional fees or costs of any sort will be paid under this contract.
