Which items ARE required for the RFP submission?

• A. Employee Census, Dependent Census, Workers' Comp Dec Page, Summary of Benefits Coverage (SBCs), Medical Invoice, Most recent medical renewal (90 days), Completed TPP Questionnaire
• B. Employee Census, Dependent Census, Workers' Comp Dec Page, SBCS, Medical Invoice
• C. Employee Census, Dependent Census, Completed TPP Questionnaire
• D. Medical Invoice, Most recent medical renewal (90 days)

Answer: (A)

The items needed in an RFP submission are the data and documents that let bidders accurately price and design a benefits package for the current population. Employee Census and Dependent Census identify who is covered and how many lives are involved, which is essential for enrollment counts and premium calculations. The Workers' Comp Dec Page shows current workers’ compensation coverage, informing risk and cost considerations tied to the group's overall benefits. The Summary of Benefits Coverage provides a standardized view of what is offered and at what cost, allowing apples-to-apples comparisons across proposals. The Medical Invoice reveals current medical spending and utilization, which bidders use to model future costs. The most recent medical renewal (within 90 days) gives up-to-date rate history and renewal terms, critical for budgeting and forecast accuracy. The Completed TPP Questionnaire captures plan design and compliance information bidders need to tailor their proposals to the employer’s needs.

This combination is the most complete and actionable package for evaluating bids. Omitting SBCs, renewal details, census data, or the TPP Questionnaire leaves gaps that can hinder fair comparison, accurate pricing, or proper understanding of current plan design.
