The Department of Health Services (DHS) strives to protect and promote the health and safety of all people of Wisconsin through the efforts of a dedicated and diverse workforce. DHS works to ensure access to individuals, families, and communities to achieve positive health outcomes in the areas of abuse prevention, mental health, public health, family care, long-term care, and much more. The Disability Determination Bureau (DDB) is currently recruiting to fill multiple part-time Medical and Psychological Consultant contractor positions. The DDB is located at 1400 E. Washington Avenue. The DDB consists of approximately 200 employees, including some contractors. The DDB operates on a yearly budget of approximately $30 million funded by the Social Security Administration (SSA) to do medical determinations for SSA disability claims. The DDB also processes a small number of State Medicaid disability claims funded by DHS. The DDB must follow all SSA policies and regulations for safety, security and hiring as well as State of Wisconsin policies and regulations. Applicants must be available to work a minimum of 20 hours per week. Hours are dependent on workload volume, and are not guaranteed. The disability determination process requires consultation services from qualified doctors of medicine or osteopathy, psychiatrists, and clinical psychologists, hereinafter referred to variously as Consultants, on an ongoing basis in order to complete the disability determination function.
