Examination Services

Scheduling is extremely flexible and designed to meet your availability, so you can work as much or as little as you want with no follow-up treatment required.  However, we do expect providers we credential to maintain regular availability when they are not on vacation or sick.

We start by providing you with a short training module that includes credentialing and on boarding (we handle all of the details).  From there we work strictly within your schedule to accommodate local veterans on an ad hoc basis.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) awards disability compensation to a veteran because of physical injuries, psychological trauma or diseases that were sustained while or made worse by active-duty military service.

Each separating, retiring member or veteran of the armed forces is eligible to have a one-time evaluation to determine if there are any service-related medical conditions. Follow-up examinations are occasionally required to update the status of previously documented medical or psychological conditions. Determination of veteran’s disability rating will be made by Veterans Benefit Administration (VBA) based upon your medical report or psychological evaluation.

Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs) are standard government forms used by the VA to document the required information that is necessary to properly rate a disabled veteran’s conditions.  You will not be writing reports – only completing these questionnaires within our online portal.

You are only asked to evaluate the conditions specifically documented on the veteran’s Disability Benefit Questionnaire (DBQ). No treatment is required unless in an emergent situation.

Onboarding and credentialing can usually be completed within a few weeks.

• You must have an active medical license with no adverse actions.

• No criminal history (confirmed by a background check).

• Must not be excluded from any federal programs.

• Current resume with satisfactory explanation for any gaps in work history.

• Current NPI number.

Exams must be performed at your practice location or in the case of Psychological Evaluations only – via Telehealth (subject to current VA policies).

Once the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has processed a Veteran initiated Disability Benefit Claim in your area, we will contact you directly to schedule a time for an examination.

Patient volume fluctuates as orders are generally pulled from within a 50-mile radius of your physical address, so major metros may have much steadier volume than rural areas or smaller cities with fewer Veteran residents.

While a significant number of veterans are applying for disability compensation benefits nationwide, it is not possible to predict the volume of referrals at any given time.

As such, we will work closely with your office to ensure scheduling is as efficient and fair as possible.  Additionally, “No Shows” are reimbursed at your approved rate.  

There are no billing requirements or invoices you need to send in order to receive payment as completed exams are automatically tracked and viewable within our online portal. 

Once you submit your evaluation findings and they are accepted, we will process your payment promptly by direct deposit (ACH) or paper check (your preference).

There are no specific time requirements, and each case will depend on practitioner availability and patient volume.  We will work with you to assess volume and ensure we are requesting an appropriate amount of your time each month.
