VA Program Contracting Office East

Sources SoughtRevenue Operations (RO), aligned under the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Chief Business Office (CBO), is committed to excellence in revenue services. CBORO uses state-of-the-art business processes to ensure that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) collects revenue from private health insurance carriers for non-service connected care provided to insured Veterans. These funds go back to the VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) to provide health care services to our Veterans. There are seven regional CPAC facilities located nationwide that provide revenue cycle management to twenty-one Veteran Integrated Service Networks (VISNs) and their associated VAMCs. CPACs perform back-end revenue cycle processes while the VAMCs maintain ownership of key Veteran-facing revenue functions.

CBORO currently has more than 3500 employees. CPAC employees work in ten different departments that are staffed by various positions each with unique competency and qualification requirements. Many factors influence staffing requirements such as workload, productivity, experience levels and utilization of technology.

In 2015 CBORO acquired a Workforce Optimization and Resource Planning Model (WORPM) that generates multi-year staffing projections, provides a platform for scenario and optimization modeling, and accounts for all relevant variables and constraints impacting human capital management and deployment decisions.

In order to maximize the efficiency and effectiveness of each CPAC's workforce by optimizing staffing mix and human capital deployment CBORO requires additional analytical and healthcare modeling support.
