Physician / Psychiatry / Alaska / Permanent / Please Share this Oppurtunity for Serving Veterans at our Anchorage AK Clinic Job

Psychiatrist MD

I am currently looking for a psychiatrist MD to work at our QTC Clinic in Anchorage, AK. QTC Medical Group is a contracted medical group through the Department of Veteran Affairs, responsible for contracting physicians to perform one-time compensation and pension, and pre-discharge examinations for our country's veterans and/or service members.

Job Description

• QTC Exams are one-time appointments that involve no treatment, follow-up exams, and/or writing of prescriptions. Depending on the specialty exam required, these exams can range from 30 to 90 minutes.
• QTC is responsible for payment of services; the VA and the claimant are not responsible for payment. QTC payments are processed on the 1st and 15th of every month.
• QTC Exams are required to be performed in ADA/OSHA compliant facilities, by providers licensed in the state in which the exam takes place. Providers who are currently employed with the VA might not be eligible to perform exams for QTC; please inquire if this applies to you.
• QTC has over 85 different DBQ forms. Some service members have 1 or 2 DBQ forms, while others could have more, depending on claimants' conditions and specialty required. When scheduling, QTC staff will inform you upfront how many conditions the service member/veteran has.
• QTC offers a web-based system called KMEP. When viewing DBQ forms on this website, you will be asked to enter the claimant's information during or after each exam by clicking boxes and entering text into text boxes. In addition to the sample DBQ forms, a sample final report/DBQ form is generated from using the KMEP system.
• In order to use KMEP, your computer requirements are as follows: Pentium 350 MHz or better, Microsoft Windows 98 or above Operating System, 256 MB of Memory (RAM) minimum/512 MB recommended, Internet Explorer 5.5 SP2 or above, and DSL or any other broadband connection recommended such as T1 or cable modem.
• If KMEP is not an option, QTC offers a transcribing or dictation service to generate/complete the required paperwork.
• Appointments are scheduled approximately 5 to 7 days from the time QTC calls you. You may see as many or as few appointments per week as you would like; you set the pace.
