Physician and Medical Director Services

The Mississippi State Department of Health, acting on behalf of a government authority located in Kosciusko, Mississippi, requires comprehensive physician and medical director services for residents of a local home. The agency is seeking to establish a continuous care system to ensure all newly admitted residents receive timely medical assessments, physical examinations, and appropriate medical care plans. This program aims to solve the challenge of maintaining uninterrupted, high-quality medical oversight by securing dedicated medical director services and daily clinical visits. The scope of work covers providing primary physician services, ongoing integrated medical treatments, and functional rehabilitation or maintenance evaluations. The selected medical director must establish levels of care, identify mental illnesses, designate activity levels, and issue immediate care orders based on the physical condition of each resident. Clinical visits by a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant must occur daily from Monday through Friday, starting no earlier than 7:00 a.m., with on-call services maintained twenty-four hours a day, three hundred sixty-five days a year. The required duties also include performing medical reviews for residents at least once every thirty days during the first ninety days post-admission, and every sixty days thereafter. The physician must conduct annual physicals, perform more frequent evaluations when indicated by medical records, and review each resident's comprehensive care plan. The physician must also write, sign, and date progress notes for each resident visit. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore organizations based in the United States of America. Performance of all medical and administrative work must take place onsite at the facility in Kosciusko, Mississippi. The agency is looking for proposals to determine the budget for these services. Bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 25, 2026. The agency allows proposal responses to be submitted digitally via email or through an online portal. Evaluation criteria will be based on the submitted proposals, though specific scoring weights are not detailed in the initial solicitation.
