Trusted Medical is the clinical delivery affiliate of the National Coordination Center (www.nationalcoordinationcenter.com). This role will directly support the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) in conducting assessments for determination of disability benefits for Veterans applying for benefits from the VA. The Nurse Practitioner, Physician Assistant, or Physician will perform face to face clinical assessments of the Veteran and provide assessment documentation on findings. These assessments will be conducted in a variety of assigned and agreed upon locations with set schedules.

The Mid-Level Provider or Provider will perform an in-person visit with the Veterans to perform evaluations to complete the required Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) for submission to VA for eligibility determination. DBQs include questions that require direct clinical exam of the Veteran in the office (e.g., testing range of motion of joints, documentation of crepitus, etc.) which cannot be done via virtual encounter. This effort will decrease a backlog of overdue assessments and to assist VA with adequately determining Veteran benefits. In addition to directly performing medical exams independently or under the supervisor a licensed provider, the Mid-Level Provider or Provider will coordinate with other assigned project teams and internal corporate divisions to ensure all aspects of assigned project(s) are maintaining continuous quality progress and meeting contractual obligations.
