These services are performed for the Readjustment Counseling Services at the Provo Vet Center, located at 1807 North, 1120 West, Provo, UT 84604. The Contractor shall provide readjustment counseling services to veterans who are assigned to their care. The counseling may include traditional psychotherapeutic modalities, but the purpose of psychotherapy (or any modality) must be, as a primary task, to address readjustment difficulties derived from military duties and the homecoming experience. 1. BACKGROUND Public law authorizes the Department of Veterans Affair (VA) to provide readjustment counseling to combat veterans and guarantees readjustment counseling as a lifetime entitlement to war zone veterans under Readjustment Counseling Services. The Vet Center mission is to provide outreach and counseling to assist all combat veterans of any conflict to resolve war-related psychological difficulties and to help them achieve a successful post-war readjustment to civilian life. Legislation authorized VA to augment Vet Center services through contracts with private sector providers for provision of readjustment counseling to veterans who served during a period and in the theater of armed hostilities. 2. POLICY AND AUTHORITY In accordance with 38 U.S.C. 1712A, Department of Veteran Affairs, Readjustment Counseling Services (RCS) is authorized to furnish readjustment counseling services to eligible veterans by contract with approved private sector providers, where the VA cannot provide such services. 3. ELIGIBILITY FOR CONTRACTED READJUSTMENT COUNSELING SERVICES Eligibility will be determined by the Vet Center staff in accordance with Vet Center policy. Eligibility for readjustment counseling services is limited to war zone veterans who were discharged under honorable conditions. Individuals with other than honorable, but more than dishonorable discharge may also be eligible as determined by the VA (see 38 CFR, Section 3.12). In an emergency, if clinically determined that a crisis exists that requires immediate readjustment counseling services are necessary, the contractor shall immediately contact the Team Leader/COR to provide presumptive eligibility and authorization for services via phone. In such cases, the Team Leader/COR will inform the veteran that if eligibility is not substantiated, the veteran may be billed for the counseling services. Bereavement services for parents, spouse, children, and immediate family members of active duty Armed Forces personnel, to include Reservist and National Guard members, who have died in the line of duty and service to their country, are not eligible for services under this contract. Veterans possessing a Dishonorable Discharge are not eligible for services provided under this program. Sexual trauma/harassment regarding veterans of both sexes, all eras are not covered by this contract. 2. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT WORK The Contractor shall furnish readjustment counseling services to eligible veterans referred by the Vet Center staff. No client will be seen without the Vet Center referral and approval. Readjustment counseling, for purposes of this contract, shall be counseling provided by licensed mental health providers; clinical social workers, psychologist, or other qualified counselors that will provide services specifically directed at social, psychological, or behavioral difficulties explicitly related to the post-war readjustment to civilian life. Such difficulties may interfere with a veteran s job performance, education pursuits, family and other interpersonal relations, or overall ability to cope with daily life. Modalities of readjustment counseling include individual, group and family counseling; all of which must have as their central purpose the post-war readjustment of war zone veterans. This service does not include general mental health services, but only provides readjustment counseling for psychosocial difficulties related to post-war readjustment from military duty, for example: Exposure to combat-related war trauma. Exposure to other aspects of war zone stress. Post-traumatic stress disorder (as defined by the current DSM) or other war-related social and psychological difficulties. Stressors unique to military duty for eligible veterans. Psychological concern over a possible service-connected condition. Substance abuse connected with military duty and/or post-war homecoming and readjustment. Difficult post-war experiences, including disrupted homecoming and unsuccessful re-entry into civilian roles. Concern over possible Agent Orange, biological or chemical agent exposure or ramifications thereof. Generalized alienation from society manifested by lack of expectable familial, educational or vocational activities. Psychosocial difficulties related to type of military discharge for other than a dishonorable discharge. The provision of medications and physical examinations are not to be considered a component of readjustment counseling, and therefore, will not be provided under this contract as a reimbursable service to the contractor. Nonetheless, offerors should have the capability through referral to arrange for needed physical examinations, prescription medications or other medical treatment. When this is not feasible due to geographical distance, the contract provider should coordinate with the Contracting Officers Representative (COR) or Point of Contact (POC) for assistance in facilitating referrals to VA medical providers. GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION OF ELIGIBLE SERVICE PROVIDERS Contractor shall be physically located within the geographic boundaries for which the contract award is made. The boundaries described herein are determined by RCS and local VA officials, based upon geographical areas of need (e.g. a given city, county, or locality where a Vet Center is present but, because of a large veteran population, cannot adequately provide services). 4. PROCEDURE FOR SERVICE INITIATION Service initiation under this statement of work will be limited to referral only by Vet Center personnel, RCS Regional Managers (RMs) or designees. The number, type and frequency of readjustment counseling services provided to the veteran or significant others (i.e., members of the veteran s immediate family, legal guardian, or an individual with whom the veteran lives or certifies an intention to live with) will be a specifically authorized by referring Vet Center or RCS RMs or designees. If a veteran visits the contractor s office prior to contacting the Vet Center, the contractor shall provide the veteran the Vet Center contact information, so required interview, record, and official authorization is initiated and approved. Upon determination of eligibility and completion of psychosocial assessment, determining the need for readjustment counseling services, a referral will be made by completion of contract Services Authorization Form (VA Form 10-5565B). The original shall be maintained within the client s file maintained at the Vet Center. Copy 1 shall be mailed or given to the veteran or significant other, who will maintain and present it to the designated service provider, if the contractor has not received a copy of the authorization. Copy 2 shall be mailed to the designated contract service provider and maintained in the client s records within the contractor s records. Disposition of Contractor s records are property of the Department of Veterans Affairs. After eligibility has been verified and the need for readjustment counseling clinically established, the Vet Center TL/COR will complete and sign VA Form 10-5565B, which officially effects a referral to the contract service provider. The completion and disposition of VA Form 10-5565B is to be implemented according to the instructions on the form. 5. REFERRALS FOR CONTRACT COUNSELING SERVICES Prior to making a referral to the contract provider, the veteran must be interviewed by the Vet Center Team Leader (TL)/COR/POC or designee. Veterans Health Administration (VHA) qualified mental health professionals can make referrals to the Vet Center. All referrals made by VHA mental health professionals who are not Vet Center staff, will be facilitated by the Vet Center TL/COR/POC, as the latter will assume responsibility for monitoring the case once the referral to the contract provider is made. The Contractor is not authorized and prohibited from performing community outreach in conjunction with this contract. Contract readjustment counseling includes the same mix of social and psychological services as provided at the Vet Centers, with the exception of community outreach, which the contractor is unauthorized and prohibited to perform. The scope of work does not have the provision for general mental health services. Contract readjustment counseling shall include social services and/or psychotherapy if needed, but the services provided must address readjustment difficulties deriving from military duties and/or homecoming experiences. The provision of services for problems not having a clear and distinct relationship to military duty and readjustment to civilian life from military duty is not authorized. Specifically, the difficulties, which comprise war-related readjustment difficulties referable to a contract provider are the following: Psychosocial problems related to exposure to war trauma. Psychosocial problems related to other stressful experiences of military duty in a war-zone. Psychosocial problems related to post-war adjustment to civilian family and work roles. Psychosocial problems related to type of military discharge. Psychosocial problems related to substance abuse clinically associated with military duty or post-military readjustment. Psychosocial problems related to post-war homecoming experiences. Psychosocial concern over possible exposure to chemical and/or biological agents in the war-zone. Generalized alienation from society related to interruptions in the normal post-war readjustment process. Self-referrals and referrals of veterans who were or are in the private contract provider s caseload cannot be authorized, unless the assessment described above is carried out. In no event may VA be billed or required to pay for services delivered prior to authorization for care. 6. REFERAL MANAGEMENT Referrals and ongoing assessment of counseling cases will be managed, as to ensure the availability of services to the largest number of eligible veterans within the limits of available resources. The Contractor shall provide group and/or brief therapy whenever clinically feasible to facilitate serving the largest number of eligible veterans. Theater veterans exposed to war-zone stress will be considered the highest priority recipients for contract readjustment counseling. Group counseling shall be encouraged whenever clinically feasible as this method is both clinically indicated and cost effective for Veterans with readjustment difficulties. The composition of such groups must include at least 50 percent eligible war-zone Veterans for a contact provider to be reimbursed for the group counseling session. Exceptions to this may be granted by the Vet Center TL/COR/POC when clinically indicated. Contractor employees shall not be considered Government employees and shall not at any time identify themselves as such or perform community outreach in the name of or as the Vet Center or VA. In accordance with the terms and conditions of this scope of work, the Professional Services Letter IL -11-82-26, and the VA Form 10-5565B, contractors shall be required to perform as follows: All initial referrals to a contract provider will be for up to 3 visits for clinical assessment and brief counseling. The TL/COR/POC will specify on VA Form 10-5565B, one, two, or three visits and the type of counseling to be provided (individual). The contractor shall schedule the initial veteran counseling session (visit) within 10 working days from the date the veteran was first referred under the contract. If additional visits are required upon completion of the 3 initial visits, the Contractor shall submit, a counseling plan documenting the need for continuing readjustment counseling to the Vet Center TL/COR/POC. The contractor will ensure a DD214 is provided by the veteran and sent to the Vet Center TL/COR/POC for verification. The contractor must maintain a copy in the clients file. After reviewing the plan, the TL/COR may authorize the veteran for up to a block of 15 additional visits within a specified period. In similar fashion, subsequent re-authorizations are established (up to 15 visits) and updated case counseling plans are subject to evaluation prior to further authorization. In an emergency situation and/or veteran crisis, additional visits may be authorized over the phone by the TL/COR/POC. The contract provider updated counseling plan may be presented to the COR/POC orally, but must be documented in the veteran s file and followed with a written copy within forty-eight (48) hours. Effective management of case progress and available funding requires that the TL/COR/POC specify on the VA Form 10-5565B a time period within which a block of authorized visits must be delivered. For example, a veteran does not use all 13 sessions during the specified time, he may be reviewed and re-authorized for additional visits at the beginning of the next quarter. A visit will last a minimum of 45 minutes for an Individual/Family session and a minimum of 90 minutes for Group sessions. The initial written counseling plan will be presented to the TL/COR/POC no later than five working days from the completion of the third initial visit. This plan shall be documented in the veteran s record by the TL/COR/POC and contract provider. The VA reserves the right to modify the treatment plan submitted by the Contractor. Coordination of the counseling plans to the VA referrer must occur in a timely manner, so there will be no disruption in the continuation of readjustment counseling. An updated treatment plan must be submitted and approved by the TL/COR/POC before subsequent client visits are authorized for the upcoming quarter. While up to one visit per week is usually authorized, the TL/COR/POC is under no obligation to authorize that frequency. Frequency of visits of less than one time per week (e.g., once per two weeks, once per month) is clinically indicated in a substantial number of cases. It is the responsibility of the TL/COR/POC to ensure that such frequency is obtained when indicated. Visits of twice per week may be permitted in exceptional cases when authorized by the COR/POC on the basis of clinical assessment. Resource allocation per facility, overall needs of the total eligible veteran population in a particular locality, sound clinical practice, and the needs of an individual veteran will usually dictate a frequency of visits of one per week or less. Significant Others defined as, members of the Veteran s immediate family, legal guardian, or individual with whom the Veteran lives of certifies an intention to live. May be seen conjointly with a Veteran in couple or family counseling by the contract service provider. This will be limited to counseling for problems, which have a distinct relationship to the Veteran s readjustment from military duty. For couple or family counseling, billing and reimbursement will be at the established per session rate as specified in the contract. Significant others may be seen without the Veteran present only when clinically required as an integral part of couple or family counseling. Such visits by significant others without the Veteran present, however, are limited to one visit per ten couple or family sessions that include the Veteran. Exceptions may be granted to the limitation on significant other visits only when clinically approved by the TL/COR/POC. As stipulated in the scope of work, there is a provision, which limits eligibility for readjustment counseling through a contract provider to 1 year from the time of the veteran s first visit. This provision is based upon existing knowledge regarding the etiology and longitudinal course of war-related readjustment difficulties to include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and upon program experience, which indicates that most veterans referred complete services within 1 year. This provision should not be implemented in an arbitrary manner nor should it be applied in isolation from other indicators for clinical case progress. In most cases authorization beyond 1 year should be short-term extensions designed to facilitate completing services or appropriate referral. Determination for extension of eligibility for contract services beyond 1 year, will be determined by a clinical report and plan submitted by the contractor, that will be reviewed by the TL/COR, and approved by the Regional Manager or designee. To determine and approve a veteran for an extension, the following procedures will be followed: The contract provider will submit a request with a report and plan, with clinical significance of need for additional services beyond one year. This is not an authorization for service, but report of further readjustment counseling need. The Vet Center TL/COR/POC will review this report, determine if extension is clinically significant, and will interview the veteran (in person or by telephone) to conduct an updated, comprehensive psychosocial assessment to ensure continuing clinical need for readjustment counseling. If there is clinical indication for continuing readjustment counseling beyond 1 year, the Vet Center TL/COR must consult with the RCS Regional Manager or designee prior to authorizing continuing visits. All requests for readjustment counseling beyond 1 year, for more than brief transitioning purposes, must be reviewed and approved by the RCS Regional Manager or designee and documented in the veteran s clinical record. If a veteran currently receiving services from a contract provider resides in a closer proximity to a newly selected contract provider or newly established Vet Center, the veteran may be transferred to the new contract provider or newly established Vet Center, in order to continue uninterrupted counseling from the most convenient service provider. Deliverables 1.
