About this file
This is a subcontractor addition request letter from Dustin Howard, Psy.D of Desierto Psychological PLLC to the Arizona Department of Economic Security. The request seeks approval to add Dr. Ruby Howard as a subcontractor to an existing contract for services provided to the Disability Determination Services Administration (DDSA).
Dr. Ruby Howard, who earned her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology in 2020 and became a licensed clinical psychologist in April 2023, will perform consultative examinations as an independent contractor. She is estimated to conduct between 4-6 exams per week and will travel as required by DDSA. A quality assurance process is outlined whereby Dr. Howard will shadow the current contracted doctor and review reports on her first day, followed by the contracted doctor shadowing Dr. Howard during evaluations on her second day. This process will continue until satisfactory performance is demonstrated, after which randomly selected reports completed by Dr. Howard will be subject to ongoing review.
