Q&A:

Question 1: Ultrasound exams have subcategories, as technicians are licensed only for each sub-category. Which category does your facility need? The categories are as follows:

a. General (Abdomen, pelvic, small parts)

b. Cardiac (2D Echo)

c. Vascular (ie: Carotid, Venous, etc…)

d. OB

Response: A, B and C. Inmates are sent out for OB/GYN.

Question 2: Is the assignment on demand? In other words, does the facility call for “Stat” or “Urgent” exams?

Response: The inmates are scheduled on a call out. If it is urgent, they will be placed higher on the list or emergent will be sent out to a local hospital.

Question 3: Does the facility have a designated supervising Radiologist?

Response: No, the facility does not have a supervising Radiologist.

Question 4: Does the facility have a designated Radiologist to dictate reports? Or would the facility want the successful Contractor to provide Radiologist’s services as well?

Response: Yes, the facility wants the Contractor to provide the reports.

Question 5: To support 192 exams/year (.5 exams a day) does the facility schedule exams ahead of time? How many days a week/month does the facility expect scheduled services? (in other words: all patients are scheduled every Monday, once a week… or, every first Tuesday and Wednesday of the month? Does the facility expect services (scheduled or on call) on the weekends?

Response: According to the Statement of Work, exams will be scheduled twice monthly. Designated days will be determined and coordinated by the Health Services Administrator; therefore, the successful Contractor will know in advance the required days to conduct the required sessions. The schedule for services will normally take place on weekdays. (See "Schedule" on page 4 and continued on page 5 of 53 of the solicitation).
