Position Summary

This is a unique opportunity to work with our Nation's Veterans doing disability assessments. This position is part of the VBA MDE (Veterans Benefits Administration Medical Disabilities Examinations) program. The Vendor schedules Veterans at contracted clinical facilities and embeds practitioners in facilities as needs warrant. Dedicated facilities are located in areas where there is a large Veteran population with the potential for high volume.

The appointments consist of assessments that help the VA answer questions about the Veterans' current health. The practitioners will not make a determination of percent of disability or rating, develop any treatment plans or prescribe medication.


Prior to every exam, the practitioner reviews each Veteran's medical or mental health history, using electronic bookmarks that highlight the portions applicable to the Veteran's claim(s) condition. Electronic exam documentation must be submitted within 1-2 business days of each appointment. The work performed is reviewed by a team of medical professionals to ensure contract compliance. Any requests for changes or corrections must be completed within 1 business day.


Role Specifics

• Position will likely be a mix of in-office appts and telehealth.
• Common reasons for assessment include but are not limited to PTSD, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.
• While exam submission does have to be completed online, no typing is required while the Veteran is present in the room. Time is provided throughout the day for documentation so as not to disrupt the flow of the patient interview.
• Review available medical records to substantiate diagnoses, and provide medical opinion when requested.
• All online onboarding training for position must be completed in timely manner.

Work Environment

This job operates in a healthcare setting. The role routinely comes into contact with patients who may have contagious illnesses.
