C & P Doctors

Question

A VA shrink told me he "will do the Veteran's C & P". He is referring to a Veteran he is seeing and treating in a VA Contract Clinic. I asked him if he meant he would "do the Nexus" and he relpied that he clearly meant he would do the C & P.

So, he treats the Vet with medication, sees the Vet in his office for "talk" therapy, and he CAN DO the Vet's C & P. Isn't there something wrong with that picture?

I can't find the answer to this elsewhere. Anyone point me to some VA authority on this question.

Thanks!

What is wrong with that picture,if the vet have a medical disability,wouldn't someone he sees on a regular basis know more about his disabilities than someone that haven,t see him at all.I would call that the luck of the draw.

The C&P department will assign an examiner to the claim.

Doc's do not get to pick and choose the ones they want

or don't want to do.

If that doc get's it - it will only be by the luck of the draw.

I dunno about where you are located, but the Dallas VAMC contracts ALL their C&P exams. The medical staff is overwhelmed and have no time left to do C&P's. Even some of their (many of their) PCP docs are "contract" docs. Even some of their nursing staff are "contract" nurses.
