Job description

Kelly Government Solutions is a strategic supplier and business partner to the federal government and its key suppliers. We are seeking dedicated healthcare providers to conduct Compensation & Pension (C&P) examinations for Veterans applying for disability benefits with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Make a positive impact on Veterans’ lives by providing thorough, unbiased, and compassionate assessments.

About The Role – Disability Examinations For Veterans

Providers perform non-treatment disability examinations for U.S. Veterans to support the VA claims process. This is not a traditional clinical care role - there is no prescribing, treatment planning, or follow-up care required. Instead, providers focus on conducting structured assessments and documenting medical findings.

What You’ll Do

• Conduct disability exams from your own office - Veterans are scheduled to come to you
• Review medical records and complete Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs)
• Provide medical opinions when requested and accompanied by a diagnosis, based on exam findings and documentation
• Ensure accurate, timely, and complete reporting in accordance with VA guidelines

Compensation

• Providers are compensated per disability examination performed - there is no daily minimum requirement
• Flexible schedule & earning potential: Earn up to $4,500+ per week with no cap on earnings while scheduling examinations around your existing clinic hours.
• General Medicine providers are additionally compensated for medical opinions that are requested and meet established criteria
• Bonus opportunity: Providers who complete required trainings within two weeks will receive a $500 bonus after submitting their first 25 DBQs

What to Expect

• No ongoing patient management or liability for care plans
• Predictable, appointment-based schedule - you will provide us with your monthly availability and appointments get scheduled for you accordingly
• Administrative and documentation-focused work with established templates
• You will receive comprehensive self-paced training (approximately 15 hours to complete) that is focused on Veteran disability evaluation topics, including military culture, TBI examinations, trauma-informed care, and environmental exposures prior to seeing Veterans.
• Cases must be submitted within 48 hours of the examination
• Length of time per examination depends on the complexity and number of conditions being evaluated, but typical General Medical exams are around 30 - 60 minutes per claimant, and Specialty Provider exams are around 15 - 45 minutes
• Dedicated support hotlines are available to assist with administrative questions, including case submission

Ideal For Providers Who

• Want a structured, low-risk clinical environment
• Prefer assessment and documentation over direct patient care
• Are seeking flexibility or supplemental income opportunities

Requirements

• Active US medical license (MD/DO, NP, or PA) free of sanctions
• Registered business entity, malpractice, workers’ comp and business insurance
• Must operate as a business entity with a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) for payment purposes.
• ADA-compliant private office, located within 50 - 100 miles of the specified locations, where you can see patients in person
• 1+ year of clinical experience
• BLS certification

Who We’re Seeking

• General Medicine and Specialty Providers
• Providers with offices located within a 50 - 100-mile radius of target cities to support local demand
