Request for Information - CMS' Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC) Program
CMS is seeking information from potential vendors about its Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC) program and a possible on-ramp to the existing QIC IDIQ. The materials cover Medicare appeals across Parts A, B, C and D, durable medical equipment, and administrative support, with vendor capability and conflict-of-interest considerations. This is an active RFI for market research rather than a request for proposals or an award; responses are due November 5, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. EST.
