Recruitment for PERAC Comprehensive Medical Examinations and Medical Review Organizations.
Request for Response Information
The PERAC Disability Unit schedules Comprehensive Medical Evaluations (CME's) for public sector disability retirees. PERAC recruits occupational health physicians for these services through an open enrollment process.
A Medical Review Organization (MRO) is a health organization that provides medical services within a medical community (examples: hospital-based occupational health unit, independent occupational health clinic, etc.).
In order to work with PERAC, physicians for CME and MRO must respond to our Comprehensive Medical Evaluation RFR. Physicians must meet the criteria described in the PERAC CME RFR and adhere to the conditions, follow procedures, and ensure the quality of the physician reports. Physicians within an MRO must also operate within the mandates of the RFR.
