Section C –Statement of Work

Psychological Treatment Services

C.1.0 BACKGROUND

On August 5, 1997, the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 (“Revitalization Act”) became law. Under the Revitalization Act, three separate entities of the District of Columbia government were combined into a single agency. The new agency, the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia (CSOSA), assumed the adult probation function from the Superior Court for the District of Columbia and the parole supervision function. The mission of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency (CSOSA) is to increase public safety, prevent crime, reduce recidivism, and support fair administration of justice in close collaboration with the community. CSOSA is responsible for the supervision of all probationers, those on Supervised Release, and parolees held under the authority of any United States or District of Columbia statute, or any other lawful authority and entrusted to the District. CSOSA has been mandated to provide comprehensive treatment services to Offenders (hereinafter referred to as Supervisees) who have been ordered to undergo such treatment by the courts, either as part of sentencing or pre-sentencing, or as a condition of probation, supervised release, or parole.

Within CSOSA, the Office of Behavioral Intervention (OBI) serves as the central hub for assessing risk and need and delivering evidence-based interventions for Supervisees in differing stages of change at various field locations. OBI coordinates and delivers comprehensive treatment designed to address one or more criminogenic risks and needs that pose challenges to Supervisees' successful re-entry into the community and compliance with release conditions.

C.2.0 OBJECTIVES

The objective of this award is to obtain Psychological Treatment Services. Specifically, evidence-based Behavioral Health Anger Management, Impulse Control, and Behavioral Health Advocacy Groups; Grief and Loss Counseling and Individual Psychotherapy;

The Contractor shall be capable of performing all tasks listed in the Statement of Work (SOW) at CSOSA’s designated facilities located in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, and remotely via a telehealth system. Telehealth is the use of electronic information and telecommunications technologies to support and promote long-distance clinical health care, patient and professional health-related education, and public health and health administration. The contractor shall provide proof of a Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant telehealth platform within 10 days of award.

C.3.0 SCOPE/REQUIREMENT

The Contractor shall perform comprehensive Psychological Treatment Services, as identified in this SOW with corresponding treatment plans. The Contractor shall represent their findings before appropriate judicial bodies upon request. All treatment plans must be consistent with evidence-based practices and established ethical guidelines (Professional Licensing Boards, Federal Government such as the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency and Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services, and

CSOSA).

C.3.1 The Referral, Authorization and No Show /Missed Appointment Process

C.3.1.1 Referral, Authorization

The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) shall provide a referral authorization for the Contractor for each Supervisee to receive any of the treatment services listed as tasks. The referral authorization shall contain the following:

• A referral date and billing authorization document (indicating the task(s) to be completed),

• Supervisee identification information (In the event the Supervisee does not have an email address in CSOSA’s electronic records system, entitled, “Supervision Management and Records Tracking” (SMART21); all appointments must be scheduled in person by the contractor),

• The COR’s name and e-mail/contact information,

• The Supervisee’s Community Supervision Officer’s (CSO) e-mail/contact information,

• Collateral and supplemental information that will be used to formulate treatment plans (e.g., a copy of the

Supervisee’s Notice of Action (NOA) or Judgment and Commitment (J&C) order, Special Conditions, and/or pre- or post-sentence investigation reports)

C.3.1.2 If the contractor is unable to reach the CSO/Supervisory CSO (SCSO) to schedule or reschedule an appointment after three consecutive business days, the referral will be closed.

C.3.1.3 CSOSA will grant the Contractor access to SMART21.

C3.1.4 The Contractor shall only perform task(s) specified in the referral authorization. The referral authorization is the only document that makes CSOSA financially responsible for Supervisee services provided by the Contractor. No verbal or other authorization is recognized or allowed.

C.3.1.5 The contractor must provide the CSO and Supervisee both verbal and written notification of its no show policy when attempting to make an appointment with the Supervisee.

C.3.1.6 The CSO/SCSO must notify the contractor immediately upon learning that a Supervisee will miss an appointment due to an unforeseen emergency.

C.3.2 No Show/Missed Appointments

C.3.2.1 If the Supervisee is a no-show (i.e., fails to report for the scheduled treatment service), the Contractor shall email the COR, Behavioral Health Administrator (BHA), Behavioral Health Coordinator (BHC), CSO and SCSO within 24 hours, or the next business day. All appointments and no-show notifications shall include the date and time for the appointment, and if the Supervisee is to be re-scheduled for another appointment. The rescheduled appointment shall take place no later than five (5) business days following the initial scheduled appointment. The Contractor is required to send e-mail notifications for no show/missed appointments on the same day as the scheduled appointment. In the referral authorization, the COR will provide the Contractor the e-mail addresses for all required recipients.

C.3.2.2 Supervisees are only allowed to miss one appointment before closure of their referral occurs unless the excuse is unforeseen and documentation is provided. The following are examples of unforeseen situations. The list below is not all inclusive.

• Urgent Care or Emergency Room Visit

• Hospitalization

• Incarceration

• Court Hearings

• Family Emergency or Deaths

• Natural Disasters

C.3.3 Scheduling and Group Cancellation.

For each type of group, CSOSA anticipates scheduling two group sessions per week at two CSOSA locations. Combined, the total number of group sessions scheduled per year may not exceed 416 sessions. The COR shall provide the Contractor with a schedule of group sessions, designating the group type, days of the week, times, and locations. The Contractor shall deliver the groups on-time, as scheduled, and may only invoice CSOSA for group sessions delivered. If no Supervisees appear for a scheduled group and the Contractor’s personnel are on-site, the Contractor may invoice for the group session as scheduled. The Contractor shall not change or cancel group sessions without the express written direction from the COR. No less than twenty-four hours in advance, the COR shall provide written notice, via e-mail, to the Contractor to cancel a group session, or change the scheduled day, time, or location of a group session. The Contractor may invoice for any group sessions cancelled or changed with less than 24 hours advance notice.

C.3.4. Psychological Emergencies or Urgent Situations. If the Supervisee is demonstrating signs of or expressing wishes to engage in self-harm or to harm others, the contractor shall take the appropriate level of action to address the situation. This involves immediately evaluating (via clinical interviewing) the seriousness, specificity, and imminence of the threat, seeking legal or risk management advice via the COR and potentially CSOSA’s Office of General Counsel, and ensuring the safety of the Supervisee, the public, or potential victim(s). The latter may include contacting 9-1-1 or the DC Department of Behavioral Health’s Crisis Response Team to come to the CSOSA-designated site and evaluate the person’s need for involuntary commitment (phone number: 202-673-6495).

C.3.5 Supervisee Treatment File Maintenance. File Entries. The Contractor is required to document a Supervisee’s individual and group encounters in a Supervisee Treatment File in accordance with the requirements identified in this purchase order.

Supervisee Treatment File material shall be organized chronologically and should be consistently organized in accordance with standard case management practices. Because CSOSA may provide more than one referral authorization for an individual Supervisee, the Contractor may add information from each referral authorization to a Supervisee Treatment File already existing in the Contractor’s records (or electronic health record system). The Contractor shall ensure that Contractor staff maintain complete confidentiality of all Supervisee Treatment Files. The Supervisee Treatment File shall, at a minimum, include:

a. Referral Authorization Package.

b. All referral information provided by CSOSA.

c. CSOSA Consent for the Release of Sensitive Information Form, signed and dated.

d. Treatment Progress Reports.

e. Treatment Plan signed by the Supervisee and the Contractor.

f. Weekly Progress Notes.

g. Monthly Progress Reports.

h. Clinical Material (if provided).

i. Discharge Report.

j. Sign-in Sheets.

C.3.5.1 Treatment File Storage and Removal. The Contractor shall ensure that all Supervisee Treatment Files are stored in a secured manner and location within the Contractor’s facility (or electronic health record system). To ensure proper tracking of Supervisee Treatment Files, the Contractor shall establish a file tracking protocol to ensure that all Supervisee Treatment Files are retrievable upon the COR’s request and organized in a manner to ensure accountability of the files and proper disposition upon the Supervisee’s discharge.

C.3.5.2. Disposition of Treatment Files The Contractor is required to retain treatment files for all Supervisees. At the conclusion of the base period and each subsequent option period, the Contractor shall return any closed treatment files to CSOSA. Additionally, upon total contractual completion, the Contractor shall provide to CSOSA all remaining treatment files no later than 60 days after total contract completion. The Contractor is required to retain all remaining Supervisee’s treatment files in accordance with professional requirements for state and federal national regulatory standards.

C.3.5.3 Closed Supervisee Treatment Files. When the COR notifies the Contractor, and Supervisee will no longer be receiving services from the Contractor, the Supervisee treatment file is considered closed. The Contractor shall close the Supervisee’s treatment file and return an electronic version to the COR within three business days of the Supervisee’s completion of, or departure from, the program. In returning closed treatment files to CSOSA, each file shall be clearly marked with the Supervisee’s last name, first name, PDID (or CSOSA ID) and the date of close-out.

C.3.5.4 Administrative Discharge. In some instances, Supervisee behavior or other issues may develop that preclude the Supervisee from benefiting from the intervention. If the Contractor indicates that a Supervisee may not be able to complete individual or group sessions, the Contractor may request a staffing through the COR. If CSOSA personnel indicate that a Supervisee may not be able to compete individual or group sessions, the COR may request a staffing to decide if an administrative discharge is appropriate. The staff should include a review of the Supervisee’s progress and include the CSO or SCSO prior to the Supervisee’s administrative discharge, to motivate and encourage the Supervisee to full compliance, and to ensure that all reasonable treatment considerations have been exhausted. Upon a decision to discharge a Supervisee administratively, the COR will notify the Contractor that the referral authorization is terminated.

C.3.5.5 Discharge Procedures. No later than five days from the date of completion of individual psychotherapy or group treatment, the Contractor must develop a written discharge report and submit it to the COR and CSO electronically as well as load it into the Supervisee’s SMART Document Library. The discharge report must contain the following information, with a copy filed in the Supervisee’s treatment file:

a. Supervisee’s name.

b. The referral date.

c. The discharge date.

d. The number of sessions required and attended.

e. Reason for discharge.

f. Supervisee level of risk at time of discharge.

g. A summary of the overall individual therapy or group experience.

h. The name and telephone number of a person that can be contacted should the

CSO require additional information.

C.3.6 Case Consultation. The Contractor shall participate in multi-disciplinary staffing with CSOs, clinical personnel, supervisory personnel, and community providers (as appropriate), on an as needed basis as directed by the COR. Case consultations will be scheduled for 30 minutes per Supervisee. The COR will issue a referral authorization for each case consultation. In case consultation referral authorizations, the COR will identify whether consultations may take place in person, or via telephone or web conferencing. The COR will also designate the Contractor personnel requested to attend, generally the clinician who provided direct treatment or intervention services to the Supervisee. The COR will schedule the consultation date and time in conjunction with the Contractor. If the consultation does not occur and is not canceled/rescheduled by the COR at least 24 hours prior to it, the Contractor may invoice the government for it.

C.3.7. Key Personnel
