I have no idea but you can call the place where the appointment is scheduled and ask for C&P Department and than ask them.

Good Luck

Well, obviously you have in the past indicated that you think you suffer from PTSD or you filed a claim for PTSD, or one of your doctors/social workers/psychologists/significant other(s) or someone has indicated to the VA Powers That Be that they think you must suffer from PTSD, or your service record indicates that you may suffer from PTSD and, because of some or all of that, you have been scheduled for a PTSD exam. The "Prov9-fee" is just an indicator for use "in-house" at the VA indicating that the Provider for this exam is "Provider #9" (a "contractor" that provides these services to the VA under contract) and that this provider charges on a fee-based process. Temple VA is not as large a VA as is, for example, Dallas VA, and, hence, the Temple VA uses "contractor services" for some of it's medical/psych services, unlike the VAMC in Dallas which is HUGE and has all these services "in-house", AND, even as large as the VAMC in Dallas is, THEY still use contractors to provide most all of their C&P exams, AND a lot of their psych exams (my OWN psych C&P was done at the Dallas VAMC by an "outside" Clinical Psychologist.

Hope this helps explain?
