DizzyJ Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Not sure what all those letters stand for, but I’ve done VA disability exams before if that is similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DizzyJ Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Not sure about those. I did disability exams for the VA and they were horrendous. All the med rec review and documentation they wanted was very time consuming. They pay though was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weezianna Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Some of the incoming VA Compensation & Pension exams have been outsourced to non-VA examiners employed by a variety of contractors, in an effort to lessen the backlog of burgeoning exam requests. Non-VA C & P examiners in general are given only limited access to veterans' medical records. As mentioned above, in order to accurately and objectively complete a C & P exam, the entire medical record must be reviewed in addition to interviewing and examining the veteran, prior to rendering an opinion on whether there is a disability present, and if it is service-related. As far as pay goes, some companies pay a specific fee per number of exams completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airslant Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 I will only be doing the exam. I won't be making any decisions on the outcomes of their claims. It will be paid hourly. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezianna Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 VA examiners, part of the VHA (Veterans Health Administration) don't make any decisions on the outcomes of the claims, either. They are sometimes asked to render opinions, but the claims are decided by raters in the VBA Veterans Benefits Administration). Non-VA examiners are generally exempt from doing more complicated exams, like appeals or Gulf War exams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
