STATEMENT OF WORK REMOVABLE DENTAL LABORATORY SERVICES CONTRACT JJP-VAMC DENTAL SERVICE 1. Introduction and Scope of Work The James Peters VA Medical Center (JJP-VAMC) Dental Program requires services for fabrication and repair of Removable Dental Patient Appliances. The JJP-VAMC maintains an on-site dental laboratory but is unable to fully meet our removable laboratory needs given current staffing and scope of work. The Contractor shall provide all resources necessary to perform services for fabrications and repairs of removable dental patient appliances, which the JJP-VAMC Dental Program directs to be performed via the contract, delivering in a manner specified by the Schedule for Deliverables. Our JJP-VAMC Dental Services include the main Dental Clinic plus the Homeless Dental Program and the Community Living Center. They all utilize the services of private dental laboratories which can t be fully accomplished at our local facility. These services comprise various removable procedures, each one of them billed separately or as part of a larger set of procedures. The factors that are critical to the dentists are quality and timeliness. Quality may be obvious but is difficult to quantify since each procedure is so personal and dependent on not only the Laboratory, but on what the dentist submits to that laboratory, which in many instances is patient dependent. Timeliness is critical but may differ for each of the procedures, also dependent upon what the dentist provides to the laboratory and whether that step is independent of all the procedures for that patient or part of a larger restoration. 2. General Requirements for Removable Laboratory Services: The Laboratory agrees, in accordance with the terms and conditions stated herein, to furnish the JJP-VAMC with the services specified and at the prices specified in this contract. Contractor services include but are not limited to the listed procedures. Procedures for Sending work to the Laboratory: All restorations will be prepared and packaged at the medical center. In the package will be the required casts and other materials necessary to complete the work. A Work Authorization Form will accompany each restoration which describes what needs to be accomplished at that step. Timeliness Requirements: Every procedure must have an agreed upon turnaround time. We depend on these dates since patients are appointed based on these commitments. For example, the processing of a Complete Denture shall take no longer than 3 days in the Laboratory with time for shipping in both directions. Each of the above mentioned services has a time associated with it - along with each step that is part of the entire procedure should they be done individually. Services to be performed will occur within normal business hours on weekdays. The Laboratory will provide the delivery service which picks up and delivers at least 1 time per day Monday thru Friday. They should also have a service available to pick up if needed on an emergency basis. If it is necessary to use mail delivery vs. direct pick-up, an overnight service must be designated. (See Attachment #1: Service Turn-around Time, for details). Patient Safety: The Laboratory shall provide competent, quality services to all patient work referred under this contract. Appropriate infection control practices for hand hygiene, standard precautions, conforming to recommendations of the CDC and other appropriate authorities must be maintained. Qualifications of Personnel: Technicians assigned by the Laboratory to perform the services covered by this contract must be supervised by a certified dental laboratory technician. The individual technicians must be deemed competent in their respective field of expertise by the head of the Laboratory. Reporting and Documentation Requirements: The Laboratory shall establish and maintain a log of patients treated under this contract including the patient s name and last four numbers of their SSN, fees charged for each order, date received and date delivered. This log (or detailed invoice) will be submitted to the VA on a monthly basis. Reimbursement Method: The restorations shall be performed as a fee for service, under the direction of the Medical Director of the Contractor. Billing / Payments: Payment will be made on a fee for service basis, per procedure. Some products require multiple procedure steps. Procedures must be documented and must be performed within the timeframes established by this contract. Reimbursement will not be provided for any procedures that do not meet quality standards. Invoices must include the VA purchase order number to ensure timely payment. The Laboratory cannot make any third-party claim to the patient or any other insurance company. Workload Data: Although it is not guaranteed, it is anticipated that approximately 5-10 cases will be sent to the Lab(s) each day. Penalty for Non-Performance if any of the services do not conform to contract requirements, the Government may require the laboratory to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no additional cost to the Government. Such cases will be discussed between the Chief of the Dental Service or designee and the Laboratory to ensure that expectations in the re-performance are clear and realistic. When the defects in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may: Require the Laboratory to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract requirements; and Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed. 3. Period of Performance The Period of Performance for this contract is a base year plus four one-year options. The contract is subject to the availability of funds. Base Year: August 1, 2018 to July 31, 2019 Option Year One: August 1, 2019 to July 31, 2020 Option Year Two: August 1, 2020 to July 31, 2021 Option Year Three: August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022 Option Year Four: August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2023 4.
