Specifications include, but are not limited to: Kentucky Retirement Systems is looking for information with a third party to manage all aspects of the disability medical review process in accordance with Kentucky Revised Statutes and Kentucky Administrative Regulations. Services requested would include, but would not be limited to, physicians licensed in the state of Kentucky performing case file reviews for disability applications and periodic annual disability reviews, disability employment reviews, submitting forms and disability recommendations of their decisions, managing the reviews to ensure they are timely processed and returned to Kentucky Retirement Systems, providing transcription of each review performed, and scheduling of any independent medical and/or psychological evaluations requested by the reviewer. Providers may also be requested to evaluate disability applications before submission to licensed physicians for medical review to determine if relevant records are missing, and if so, to request and obtain missing records. Kentucky Retirement Systems would need to know the status of each case review and would, therefore, need some access to the vendor’s system in order to monitor and track each case during the review process. Licensed physicians may also be required to provide testimony, affidavits or consultation regarding reviews, if an appeal of the review occurs.
