Full Job Description
Beyond Urgent Health is looking for a Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) to perform exams for the Veterans Benefits Administration Medical Disabilities Examinations program at our location in The Woodlands, TX.
Veterans are scheduled for appointments at contracted facilities, such as ours, for compensation and pension exams. The compensation and pension exams you will perform help the VA answer questions about Veterans’ current health and determine disability and award. The practitioners will not decide the percent of disability or rating, develop treatment plans, or prescribe medication. Practitioners only function within the system is as a contracted independent third-party assessment.
· Completed documentation is sent to the VA for final determination on all disability claims. The VA then determines percent of disability and award.
· Prior to the exam, the practitioner reviews a Veteran’s medical 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 vendors Provider Portal to capture the Veteran’s responses during the exam.
· Electronic exam documentation, known as a Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ), 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.
· After submission of the exam, the documentation is reviewed by our vendor’s QA team to ensure compliance and guarantee documented verbiage aligns with VA requirements.
· Requests for changes or corrections to exam documentation after the vendor’s internal review are submitted within 48 hours of the appointment.
As a healthcare provider at one of our locations you will:
· Review pertinent medical history documentation and provide one-time, non-treatment compensation and pension exams for Veterans.
