7A20--AI Medical Coding (VA-25-00075960) (VA-25-00104841)

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) National Center for Collaborative Healthcare Innovation (NCCHI) is seeking a contractor to develop and deploy an AI-powered medical coding chatbot. This initiative aligns with Executive Order 13960 to enhance government efficiency through trustworthy AI. The contractor will design, develop, deploy, and support a real-time, browser-based AI chatbot for improving clinical documentation and coding accuracy (CPT, ICD-10, CC/MCC, DRG-like groupings). The solution will be hosted on the VA Enterprise Cloud, provide rapid response times, support concurrent users, and integrate with existing VA systems. Key phases include planning, development, testing, deployment, training, and continuous monitoring. The contractor must comply with numerous federal and VA regulations, including security, privacy, and technical standards, and will be responsible for all software licenses. Deliverables include various reports, a trained AI model, and a beta testing implementation plan.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for AI Medical Coding solutions, identified by Solicitation Number 36C10B26Q0028.
