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 leave.

We start by providing you with a short training module as part of credentialing and onboarding process.  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 U.S. Military is eligible to have a one-time evaluation to determine if there are any service-connected medical conditions. Follow-up examinations are occasionally required to update the status of previously documented medical or psychological conditions. Determination of a Veteran’s disability rating will be made by Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA), which is based upon your medical or psychological examination.

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 shall be rendered unless it is an emergency situation.

Depending on provider responsiveness, onboarding and credentialing can usually be completed within a month.

• 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 In-Person at your ADA compliant practice location.  Telehealth is available for select programs and locations only, which will be communicated to you during the recruitment process.

We will contact you directly to schedule examinations as they are ordered.

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 according to your fee schedule.  

Once you submit your evaluation and it is reviewed/accepted, we will process your payment within 45-60 business days by direct deposit (ACH).

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

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.
