PREMIUM PROCESSING DEVELOPMENT Sample Clauses

PREMIUM PROCESSING DEVELOPMENT. Contractor shall support the State’s development of end-to-end integration functionality for transition of Qualified Health Plan (QHP) premium processing to insurance carriers beginning with coverage year 2022. Contractor shall perform the services described in this Contract on a time and material basis. These time and material services will be performed as requested and under the direction of the State according to the terms in Attachment B through September 30, 2021. Due to State resource availability and the evolving COVID-19 pandemic the State postponed implementation from 2020 to 2021 in support of plan year 2022 instead of plan year 2021. In collaboration with the State, Contractor distributed both in-flight and planned workstream timelines that extend through the remainder of the project timeline to deliver a high quality, robust solution and allow for thorough operational readiness planning. The State subsequently re-wrote the approved software requirements to adhere with best practices for CMS traceability. The Contractor will use the originally approved requirements when performing System Integration Testing (SIT) and the State will use the rewritten requirements to perform User Acceptance Testing (UAT). To reduce project risk associated with these two different sets of requirements, State added scope for the Contractor to review and analyze differences between the two sets of requirements, and it adds new State responsibilities to support this effort. The ALM Software will serve as the sole system of record for requirement analysis.
