SECTION 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This document is an update to the Design, Development, and Implementation (DDI) Implementation Advance Planning Document (IAPD) created by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA or Agency) for the procurement of a systems integrator (SI), new fiscal agent (FA) contract and enhancements to, or development of, the Florida Medicaid Management Information System (FMMIS) and Decision Support System (DSS). This project, related to the procurement, is referred to as the SI/FMMIS/FA/DSS-DW Project (the Project).
This update to the DDI IAPD (IAPDU) is submitted per CMS’ written request dated August 12, 2015, to separate the funding request by period into two separate documents: one for the DDI period of the Project, and one for the Operations phase. This IAPDU should be considered as an addendum to the DDI IAPD submitted to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on August 24, 2015 and should be reviewed in conjunction with the DDI IAPD.
This IAPDU provides budget and cost allocation information related to the Operations of the FMMIS and DSS. The five year Operations Phase is scheduled to begin on July 1, 2018 and end on June 30, 2023. Current total estimates for the Project indicate the five year Operations period to cost $263,360,780.
1.1 SYSTEMS INTEGRATOR ROLE IN OPERATIONS
The primary vendor of the SI/FMMIS/FA/DSS-DW Project will serve as systems integrator during the Operations phase of the Project. The scope of effort for this role is summarized in Exhibit 1-1: Systems Integrator Scope of Effort – Operations.

Exhibit 1-1: Systems Integrator Scope of Effort – Operations
For the duration of the Operations phase, the systems integrator will be required to:
Ensure that all systems required to be interoperable with Medicaid function together appropriately and have the ability to share and receive data
Deploy the activities, architecture, and tools necessary for achieving consistent access to data across the Medicaid enterprise in order to meet the data needs of Florida Medicaid and its business processes
Be uniquely accountable for the interoperability of the MMIS and DSS with other Medicaid support systems
Deliver business results through effective and efficient business processes
Leverage Code and Technology reuse
Support interoperability between systems inside and outside the Agency, continuing to incorporate industry standards (e.g. HIPAA)

SECTION 2 PROJECT MANAGEMENT PLAN
The basis for developing the Agency’s FMMIS/FA/DSS Project Management Plan is centered on the preparation, maintenance, and use of quality deliverables to meet the requirements and expectations of the project’s strategies and plans. The project will follow a well-structured, clearly defined project plan applied in a disciplined manner. A project team consisting of state and contract staff will employ industry standards and best practices for project management throughout the project life cycle.
2.1 SI/FMMIS/FA/DSS-DW PROJECT SCOPE
2.1.1 SI/FMMIS/FA PROJECT
The SI/FMMIS/FA/DSS-DW Project will be conducted in the following phases, which may be adjusted based on the successful Vendor’s approved plan for these phases. Even though the Agency has combined the MMIS and DSS in one contract, it is recognized that the solutions offered will most likely result in a prime MMIS vendor and separate DSS subcontract in order to meet the needs of Florida Medicaid contained in the solicitation requirements. This document separates the two systems to illustrate the diverse activities and deliverables.
Operations
The Operations Phase constitutes all operations or “production processing” work required of the Vendor, and begins at the set point in time when the Vendor receives the first claim for production processing. Operations includes, but is not limited to, the processing of claims and encounters for payment, maintenance and/or upgrading of all components of the claims process system, support of all elements of recipient file maintenance operations, document imaging, mailroom activities, training activities, and support of all elements of the provider relations operations.
The Operations Phase is anticipated to run from July 1, 2018 through the end of the contract on June 30, 2023.
Federal Certification
Federal certification of the FMMIS using the CMS MECT criteria is a mandated requirement. The Vendor, for the purpose of obtaining federal certification, must plan to cooperate fully with
Florida Medicaid Management Information System, Systems Integrator, Fiscal Agent Operations, and Decision
Support System Implementation Advance Planning Document-Update:2018 Procurement
7
the Agency and its stakeholders, including all Medicaid Enterprise Vendors and sub-Contractors whose products and/or ancillary services interface with the FMMIS.
Upon the contract effective date, the Vendor will be provided with updated information regarding the MITA SS-A, the Medicaid Enterprise Toolkit Checklists, and the MITA Traceability Matrix. These documents, all of which have been developed to reflect Florida-specific business processes, mapped to specific solicitation document requirements, and included on the MITA Traceability Matrix for measurement and reporting purposes, will provide the information and tools necessary for the Vendor’s development of processes to achieve CMS certification.
While some certification activities will occur directly after the contract is signed, the primary tasks for the Federal Certification Phase are anticipated to run from January 1, 2018 through March, 2019.
Turnover
The Vendor must prepare for turning over responsibilities and operations at the end of the contract. The Vendor must cooperate with the successor fiscal agent, other Vendors, and the Agency in the planning and transfer of operations. The Vendor must dedicate special additional resources to this phase. This phase will begin about twelve months before the end of the contract period and end about six months after the end of the contract period, or as extended by the exercise of contract provisions or amendments to the contract.
Turnover will consist of three sub-phases:
Turnover Preparation
Post-Turnover Support
Transfer of Vendor Operations
The Turnover Phase is anticipated to run from July 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.
Major Activities
The Vendor shall set the schedule of major activities for Agency review during each phase in the work plan. All key dates are contingent upon Agency approval. All deliverables dates and key dates are contingent upon State approval. Exhibit 2-1: FMMIS/FA Major Activities below contains a general overview of the major activities to occur during each FMMIS/FA Project phase.

2.1.2 DSS/DW PROJECT
Overview
The DSSDW Project will be conducted in the following phases:
Operations
The Vendor must host, operate, maintain, and enhance the DSS and execute all responsibilities described in the procurement until each function is turned over to the successor Vendor at the end of the contract, including any optional additional periods or extensions. The Agency requires that the Vendor provide suitably qualified personnel resources and any software necessary to support the production and operation of the DSS and also meet performance requirements and performance standards described in the ITN.
The Operations Phase is anticipated to run from July 1, 2018 through the end of the contract on June 30, 2023.
Federal Certification
Federal Certification of the DSS using the CMS MECT criteria is a mandated requirement. Federal Certification of the DSS will be conducted as a single operation, as a series of computing platforms operating seamlessly within the Agency’s designated computing environments. The Vendor, for the purpose of obtaining Federal Certification, will cooperate fully with the Agency and its stakeholders, including all Medicaid Enterprise Vendors and sub-Vendors whose products and/or ancillary services interface with the DSS.
The Federal Certification Phase is anticipated to run from January 1, 2018 through March, 2019.

3.2 PROPOSED OPERATIONS PHASE COST ALLOCATION
This sub-section describes the cost allocation methodology and presents the overall distribution of estimated Operations Phase project costs to various funding sources.
The Agency follows the principles and standards described in the OMB Circular A-87 (Revised) in establishing an overview of anticipated costs related to the operations the FMMIS and DSS. Of particular interest to CMS, the Agency presents a cost allocation plan based on the guidelines defined in the State/Local Wide Central Service Cost Allocation Plans.
The development of the cost allocation plan followed the following assumption:
The Agency expects to close out the DDI period and enter the Operations Phase on July 1, 2018, which will continue through June 30, 2023.
