Essential Healthcare Solutions is supporting Unified Health Partners, LLC (UHP). UHP holds Contract FA664326C0002 (awarded from RFQ FA664326Q0004) for HQ AFRC/SG Aeromedical Case Management Support. The official start date is 20 October 2026, following the 30-day contract phase-in.

1. Position Summary
Serve as the single Focal Point and working team lead for a three-person aeromedical case-management team supporting the Office of the Command Surgeon at HQ AFRC. This is a working lead role: you carry your own case load while also owning the government-facing point-of-contact function, team workflow and load-balancing, metrics and recurring reporting, RMU guidance, and support to the SGP division's training events. You keep the team meeting its accuracy and timeliness performance standards across ~6,456 case actions per month for a force of roughly 70,000 reservists.
2. Key Responsibilities
- Act as the contractor Focal Point / single point of contact for all government correspondence; provide clear written and verbal responses within required timeframes and attend monthly performance meetings with the COR.
- Carry an active case load — receive, track, review, and adjudicate accession, retention, and flying-class waiver cases using AIMWTS, ECT, and PEPP.
- Own team workflow: assign and load-balance the highest-volume queues against their timeliness thresholds, and manage surge up to +15% through internal re-prioritization, flex-time, and cross-utilization.
- Prepare and deliver recurring and ad hoc reports — Monthly Status Report, Annual Report, case-processing metrics, data-quality and unit case-load analyses; own MICT self-assessment checklists related to case-management policy.
- Provide written guidance to reserve medical units (RMUs) on managing questionable or incompletely documented cases; coordinate with MAJCOMs, HQ USAF, ACS, RS, and MTFs on reserve-unique medical issues.
- Assist with planning, preparation, and execution of the four training events conducted by the SGP division (e.g., AMTM/FSST support).
- Manage phase-in/phase-out activities: attend weekly transition meetings, complete system-access requirements, and ensure no degradation of service at transition.
- Direct contractor personnel operations and serve as the primary interface with the Government and customers, maintaining non-personal-services boundaries.
3. Required Qualifications
- Domain experience: Demonstrated experience processing and managing physical exams and medical standards — acquired through a military medical environment (e.g., USAF Physical Exam Standards / PES, aeromedical, or reserve medical unit) OR an equivalent civilian aeromedical, occupational health, or disability evaluation system (DES) environment.
- Regulatory knowledge: Working knowledge of medical standards for retention, flying classes, Line of Duty (LOD) determinations, and special operational duty for the USAF; familiarity with the Aeromedical Waiver Guide (AMWG) and the Medical Standards Directory (MSD), applicable AFIs, and 422/469 and DES processes (or the ability to rapidly acquire it).
- Medical literacy: Basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, disorders of human body systems, and emergency medical care procedures; proficiency with medical terminology and ICD-10 coding, used accurately when documenting cases.
- Communication & administrative skills: Excellent oral and written communication; ability to translate complex medical/administrative instructions to service members at their comprehension level; project-management / workflow-tracking ability.
- Technical skills: Proficiency with Adobe PDF and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint); proficient typing on both QWERTY and 9-key/numeric pads.
- Baseline requirements: Able to work independently with strong time-management and prioritization skills; exceptional customer-service skills; fluent in reading, writing, speaking, and understanding English.
- Leadership capacity: Demonstrated ability to direct contractor personnel and serve as the primary government/customer interface; project-management experience coordinating multi-person workflows to measurable performance standards (AQLs).
4. Systems You'll Use (Government-Provided Access & Training)
The Government furnishes access to all systems of record, the government-configured computer/network you will use, and system-specific training. You do not need to own, license, or bring these systems — access is granted after your Tier 1 background investigation clears. You must be proficient in, or able to rapidly acquire proficiency in:
- AIMWTS — Aeromedical Information Management Waiver Tracking System (waiver case documentation and routing).
- ECT — Electronic Case Tracking (AFRC case-management workflow / system of record).
- PEPP — Physical Examination Processing Program (exam ordering, processing, and closeout).
- MEDXS — Air Force medical readiness applications portal.
- JLV — Joint Longitudinal Viewer (read-only DoD/VA/community medical record viewer).
- MICT — Management Internal Control Toolset (self-assessment / compliance checklists).
- PHA — Periodic Health Assessment programs; plus Microsoft Office and Adobe PDF.
5. Preferred / Highly Desired
- In-depth knowledge of Line of Duty (LOD) determinations and Medical Evaluation Board (MEB) processes.
- Prior hands-on experience in a USAF/AFRC/ARC aeromedical or reserve medical unit, or with the specific systems above (AIMWTS, ECT, PEPP) — clears the System-Experience gate with proof rather than crosswalk.
- Reporting & analysis: Experience building metrics/status reports and using an internal case tracker or similar tool to age and flag actions against service levels.
6. Clearance & Onboarding Requirements
- U.S. person / background investigation: Must be able to obtain and maintain a favorable Tier 1 (T1) National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI). Tier 1 certification is required within 30 days of contract start; no network or system access is granted without a valid T1 or approved interim access. (Investigation cost is covered by the employer, not the candidate.)
- Non-Disclosure Agreement: Must sign the AFRC/SG Non-Disclosure Agreement prior to beginning performance.
- Required training: Must complete DoD Cyber Awareness, HIPAA, Privacy Act, and Derivative Classification training (government-provided).
7. Work Environment & Conditions
- Location: On-site at HQ Air Force Reserve Command, Robins AFB (Warner Robins), GA. Single site; travel is not required. Relocation and travel are not reimbursed.
- Schedule: Full-time, normally 8 hours/day between 0800–1600 ET, Monday–Friday (core hours 0900–1500 ET), excluding federal holidays and Air Force Family/Down Days. Overtime is not authorized on this contract unless approved by the client; flex-time is permitted to meet performance requirements without incurring overtime.
- Telework: Situational telework only, with prior COR approval, using a government-approved VPN; sensitive data may not be stored on local/unapproved devices.
- Non-personal services: You are an employee of the contractor (UHP), take direction from and are supervised by UHP (not the Government), and will identify yourself as contractor personnel at all times.
- Compensation: Service Contract Act, Wage Determination 2015-4495, labor category 12190 (Medical Record Technician). Base wage $24.18/hr (category floor) with Health & Welfare $5.55/hr; non-exempt.
