It does not constitute a commitment to issue a solicitation or award a contract. Pricing proposals, if requested in a future solicitation, are expected to be calculated using Medicare reimbursement methodologies (e.g., Medicare Part A MS-DRG, Medicare Part B Physician Fee Schedule, Medicare Part B APCs), with offerors proposing a discount or premium to benchmark rates.
