Subject: Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act: Contracts Awarded 
and Consultants Retained by Federal Departments and Agencies to Assist 
in Implementing the Act: 

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), as amended by 
the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HCERA), 
contained provisions to increase access to health insurance coverage 
through: health insurance market reforms; an expansion of Medicaid 
eligibility; and the creation of health insurance exchanges to provide 
small employers and individuals access to coverage.[Footnote 1] In 
addition, PPACA contained provisions designed to improve the quality 
of health care, reduce expenditures, and provide incentives for 
preventive and primary care. To help implement PPACA, federal 
departments and agencies awarded contracts, including contracts for 
consulting services. Contractors and consultants perform a variety of 
tasks, including research, market reviews, actuarial support, 
logistics and technical support, data management, and information 
technology support. 

As required by the Department of Defense and Full-Year Continuing 
Appropriations Act, 2011, this report provides information on 
contracts awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) 
and other federal departments and agencies related to authority 
provided by PPACA, including information on firms retained to 
facilitate contracting and consultants retained by HHS and other 
federal departments and agencies to assist in PPACA implementation. 
[Footnote 2] 

To complete this report, we asked HHS, the Department of Labor, the 
Department of the Treasury, and the Office of Personnel Management 
(OPM) to provide data on all contracts awarded and consultants 
retained to assist in implementing PPACA.[Footnote 3] While the 
statute required us to report on the general expertise of the 
contractors and consultants, such information is not generally 
contained in the databases maintained by HHS, whose contracts 
constitute the majority of those reported. In lieu of information on 
general expertise, we provide a description of the contracts reported, 
regardless of department or agency. We also obtained data on firms 
retained by federal departments and agencies to facilitate contracting 
related to PPACA implementation. We did not audit the data reported to 
us. Through our discussions with HHS and other department and agency 
officials and quality-control checks we performed on the data, we 
determined that the data provided were sufficiently reliable for our 
purposes. 

We conducted our work from June 2011 to July 2011 in accordance with 
all sections of GAO's Quality Assurance Framework that are relevant to 
our objectives. The framework requires that we plan and perform the 
engagement to obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to meet our 
stated objectives and to discuss any limitations in our work. We 
believe that the information and data obtained, and the analysis 
conducted, provide a reasonable basis for any findings and conclusions. 

See enclosure I for information on contracts awarded (including to 
consultants) by HHS to help implement PPACA. We identified one 
consultant in our review retained by HHS's Assistant Secretary for 
Administration. This consultant is listed in a separate table 
following the Assistant Secretary's table of contractors. Enclosures 
II, III, and IV provide similar information for contracts awarded by 
the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury, and OPM, 
respectively. We did not find that the Department of Labor, the 
Department of the Treasury, or OPM had retained any consultants. In 
addition, no firms were retained by HHS, the Department of Labor, the 
Department of the Treasury, or OPM to facilitate contracting. All of 
the enclosures include the names of the contractors and descriptions 
of the contracts (including contracts with consultants) and 
obligations and expenditures as of April 15, 2011, the date for which 
these data were most readily available. 

HHS, the Department of Labor, the Department of the Treasury's 
Internal Revenue Service, and OPM reviewed a draft of this report. HHS 
and the Department of Labor provided technical comments, which we have 
incorporated as appropriate. 

We are sending copies of this report to the Secretaries of HHS and 
Labor, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, and the Director of OPM, 
as well as interested congressional committees. In addition, the 
report will be available at no charge on the GAO Web site at 
[hyperlink, http://www.gao.gov].
