How to bid on RI Medicaid Oasis - Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) Module for Rhode Island

What the agency is buying and why it matters

The State of Rhode Island Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) is looking for a qualified vendor to implement, manage, and operate an Open/Hybrid Model Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) solution. This system will be a module of the Rhode Island Medicaid Optimized and Adaptable State Information System (RI Medicaid OASIS).

The Open/Hybrid model is important because it allows provider agencies that already use alternative, third-party EVV systems to continue using their current technology. This approach offers flexibility for existing providers while integrating with the state's Medicaid Enterprise System.
