Loyal Source Government Services
Overview
As an Examiner, you will be conducting Compensation & Pension (C&P) Examinations for Veterans applying for disability compensation from the Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). The role 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 C&P exam. Charting from home may be required. Each examiner plays a vital role in the overall experience of the Veteran by providing an exceptional experience during these examinations.
These Medical Disability Examinations are crucial in the VA’s process for determining benefits Veterans can receive as a result of service-connected health issues. Our clinical insights help facilitate access to treatment sub-specialists when necessary, creating continuity of care for those who need it most.
Clinical Examiners will be guided through a web-based examination form in a proprietary online system to capture patient information throughout the examination process. Qualified candidates must hold an active license, be able to work independently and collaboratively, demonstrate strong interpersonal skills, adapt to changing situations, and have basic computer skills.
Pay: Base + Monthly incentive = $125,382 - $155,376 per year.
