Your services support the Veterans Benefits Administration Medical Disabilities Examinations program. Veterans are scheduled for appointments at contracted facilities for compensation and pension exams, and embedded practitioners in facilities as needed. Dedicated facilities are located in areas with a large Veteran population and the potential for high volume. The compensation and pension exam helps the VA answer questions about Veterans' current health. The practitioners will not decide the percent of disability or rating, develop treatment plans, or prescribe medication. Completed documentation is sent to the VA for final determination on all disability claims. Before the exam, the practitioner reviews a Veteran's medical or mental health history, using electronic bookmarks that highlight the portions applicable to the Veteran's claimed condition. The practitioner is guided through a web-based examination form in the Provider Portal to capture the Veteran's responses during the exam. Electronic exam documentation is known as a Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) and must be submitted promptly within 48 hours of each appointment. The number of DBQs completed per exam will vary based on the Veteran's claimed conditions. Administrative time is provided to complete exam documentation and ensure timely submission. The documentation is reviewed by a team of medical professionals to ensure contract compliance and guarantee the verbiage aligns with customer requirements. Requests for changes or corrections to exam documentation must be submitted within 48 hours of the appointment.
