On this engagement, the TurningPoint Team includes subcontractors National Government Services (NGS) and Booz Allen Hamilton. TurningPoint has previously partnered with NGS and Booz Allen Hamilton in delivering innovative solutions to the Federal government.
TurningPoint will deliver automated and expanded screening mechanisms to verify and validate enrollment information prior to enrolling every Part A and B provider or supplier and then continuously through the tenure of that provider’s enrollment in Medicare. TurningPoint’s solution involves the integrated use of customized Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) technology, an Expert System based Scoring Engine, and IBM’s Master Data Management (MDM) application to merge, individualize, normalize, standardize, augment, and assign a Risk Score to provider enrollment data.
“TurningPoint’s experience with the Medicare program as well as our proven successes in data verification and validation are critical for this work,” added Mr. Edwards.
