Stellar Healthcare Partners provides high-quality, objective disability evaluations for U.S. Veterans. As part of our behavioral health division, our remote mental health examiners conduct structured telehealth Compensation & Pension (C&P) evaluations, ensuring accuracy, professionalism, and respect for every Veteran served.
Position Summary

This role involves:
- Conducting structured clinical interviews

Review medical records, military service documents, psychological testing (if available), and prior evaluations.
Complete VA Mental Health DBQs accurately, thoroughly, and within required timelines.
Document clinical impressions clearly in the EMR and VA contractor portals.
Maintain strict neutrality: no clinical treatment, prescribing, or therapeutic intervention.
Deliver a professional, respectful, Veteran‑centered experience.

Preferred:
Prior experience with VA Disability (C&P) exams through QTC, VES, LHI/OptumServe, or other contractors.
Familiarity with VA Mental Health DBQs and the VA disability claims process.
Experience working with military or Veteran populations.
Working Hours

Supportive administrative staff to streamline workflow and documentation.
Skills

Exceptional attention to detail in documentation.
Ability to work independently and manage a consistent caseload.
