In addition to the RMA responsibilities, the consultant services will include providing oral and/or written consultations resulting from reviews of SSA disability case files, consulting with SSA medical policy staff and/or training other medical consultant contractors. The services involve the review of medical evidence in disability claims filed under Titles II and XVI of the Social Security Act. No patient contact will be involved. The contractor(s) must have the necessary computer skills to read electronic case files, complete electronic forms, use electronic medical and SSA policy reference material, read and answer email messages, type narrative consultations and input electronic case information.
