Common use of Other Supporting Justifications Clause in Contracts

Other Supporting Justifications. Another basis for evaluating the matching program is to compare the cost of conducting the matches manually with the costs of conducting computerized matching. TRICARE has approximately 9,900,000 beneficiaries eligible for Medicare Parts A & B, who are matched electronically on a weekly basis to validate continued Medicare Part A and B coverage. As shown in Key Elements 1 and 2 above, the costs of matching such records in automated fashion are estimated to be $139,161. Alternatively, if a manual match were to be conducted, we would estimate at least $31,004,015 per year in manual labor. Assuming an individual can manually search and provide response on Medicare A/B coverage for 2 records a minute, they could search: • 960 records per day (8 hour day) • 4,800 records per week (5 days) • 19,200 records per month (4 weeks) Assuming the frequency of the match decreases from weekly matching to monthly matching, 9.9M records to be searched at an average of 19200 records per month by 1 individual, 515.6 FTEs would be required to manually search the 9.9M records every month. Assuming staff performing the work include employees located in the Washington- Baltimore-Arlington, DC-MD-VA-WV-PA geographic locality at a GS-9/1, $60,129/year. 515.6 FTE x $60,129/year = $31,004,015 CMS Personnel Costs $112,002 DoD Personnel Costs $11,140 CMS Computer Cost $7,562 DoD Computer Cost $4,697 DoD Administrative Cost $3,760 Attachment 1
