W are seeking independent contractors (1099) Physician (MD/DO), Nurse Practitioners (NP), or Physician Assistants (PA) to join our growing network to conduct Compensation & Pension Exams for Veterans applying for disability compensation from the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) in relation to their in-service injury claims. This involves reviewing the claim, performing focused assessments of claimed injuries, reviewing medical records, and potentially rendering a medical opinion based on the record review and completed Compensation & Pension (C&P) exam.

There is also reimbursement for required training, no-show patients, and any required follow up medical opinions.
