Professional Psychiatric Physician Services

The Fort Yuma Indian Health Center in Winterhaven, California is seeking professional psychiatric physician services to support its healthcare facility. The agency requires these services to ensure patients receive consistent, high-quality psychiatric care that aligns with the guidelines, procedures, and Service Unit Medical By-Laws of the facility. The selected physician will resolve the need for on-site psychiatric expertise, comprehensive patient assessments, and ongoing treatment planning for the facility's population. The scope of work covers on-site psychiatric services including medication reviews, patient interviews, clinical assessments, treatment plan formulation, and follow-up care. The physician must also provide phone consultations to the service unit medical staff as needed and submit monthly clinical status reports for each patient to the project officer. Additionally, the physician must timely prepare and complete all required medical records for admitted or treated patients. Eligible bidders must be domestic United States entities, as the opportunity is set aside entirely for small businesses. The designated physician must speak, understand, read, and write English fluently, possess basic computer and typing proficiency, and have no work or health restrictions that could interfere with service delivery. The agency will evaluate services periodically to ensure compliance with current medical standards of practice. The agency is seeking proposals to establish the budget for this procurement. The contract period will span one year of performance. While the original description notes that work will be performed on-site at the Fort Yuma Indian Health Center, the associated metadata indicates performance of the work will be offsite.
