C&PGeneralMedicalEvaluations
Empower provides thorough medical evaluations for veterans through doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, treating every Veteran with respect, empathy, and individualized attention.
What we offer
Our doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners cover more than a dozen specialty areas, so most veterans can complete their general medical evaluations with one team. Each exam follows VA examination protocols and produces clear, well-organized documentation for claims review.
Blood Pressure Assessments
Cardiovascular pressure evaluations with standardized, repeated readings and clear documentation to support accurate claim review.
Hearing & Vision Testing
Sensory evaluations covering hearing loss, tinnitus, and visual acuity, documented to VA examination standards.
Musculoskeletal Evaluations
Joint, bone, and muscle assessments including range-of-motion measurement and documentation of functional impact for service-connected conditions.
Respiratory Health
Lung and breathing evaluations for conditions such as asthma, COPD, and sleep-related breathing disorders, with findings recorded to support claim decisions.
Diabetes Evaluations
A1C review and diabetes management assessments that document severity, complications, and day-to-day functional impact.
Thyroid & Hormonal Testing
Endocrine evaluations that assess thyroid and hormonal conditions and their effects on overall health and daily function.
Hypertension Assessment
Blood pressure and cardiovascular risk evaluations with the serial readings and history review that VA protocols call for.
Chronic Pain Management
Pain assessments that document intensity, frequency, and functional limitations in the detail examiners and reviewers need.
Where general medical claims slow down, and how we keep them moving
A single disability claim can touch half a dozen body systems. When each one means another facility, another drive, and another wait, veterans disengage and claims stall. Empower built its general medical practice around removing those handoffs.
- Healthcare appointments the VA delivered in FY2024, its highest ever
- 130M+
- More veterans enrolled in VA care than the year before
- 400,000+
- Veteran trust in VA outpatient care, reflecting rising expectations
- 91.8%
Where claims stall
Veterans are often routed to multiple facilities to complete a single claim, adding travel burden and dropped appointments.
How we keep them moving
Empower's doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners cover more than a dozen specialty areas, so most veterans complete their general medical evaluations with one coordinated team.
Where claims stall
Exam reports that miss protocol requirements slow claims and trigger re-examinations.
How we keep them moving
Exams follow VA examination protocols with structured documentation review, so findings arrive complete, organized, and ready for claims decisions.
Where claims stall
Veterans in rural and underserved regions often have fewer local exam options, which adds travel time and missed appointments.
How we keep them moving
A 50-state in-person footprint combined with nationwide telehealth reduces travel burden and keeps scheduling predictable outside major metros.
Why exam programs choose a coordinated team
General medical exams reward breadth and coordination. Empower delivers both through a provider network we build and support ourselves, veteran by veteran and exam by exam.
One team across the whole claim
Doctors, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners work under one roof, so musculoskeletal, respiratory, sensory, and chronic-condition exams stay coordinated instead of scattered.
Providers we know by name
Every clinician is recruited, credentialed, and supported by Empower directly. When a program has a question about an exam, there is a short line to the person who performed it.
Experience passed down, not assumed
Seasoned C&P examiners mentor newer providers on protocol requirements and documentation, so report quality stays consistent as the team grows.

Why Organizations Trust Empower
Attorneys, case managers, carriers, and federal partners rely on the same fundamentals: compliant systems, credentialed clinicians, defensible documentation, and communication you never have to chase.
HIPAA-Compliant Systems
Referrals, records, and status updates move through HIPAA-compliant systems. Protected health information is accessible only to the patient's care team and shared with referring partners through secure channels, never sold or used outside the care relationship.
Licensed, Credentialed Evaluators
Evaluations are conducted by licensed clinicians credentialed for their specific scope of work: psychologists, physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners, with named clinical leadership overseeing each service line.
Documentation Built for Review
Reports are written to withstand review by courts, carriers, and federal examiners: thorough, objective, and clearly organized. Records are retained and released only through secure, authorized channels.
Proactive Status Updates
A named case manager sends proactive updates at each milestone, from first contact through completed report, so referring partners know where a case stands without having to ask.
“Empower has become an extension of our litigation team. Their documentation is thorough, objective, and consistently holds up under scrutiny. It saves our staff hours on every case.”
“The biggest difference has been speed. Referrals are processed quickly, appointments happen fast, and my clients actually stay engaged throughout treatment.”
* Based on authentic patient and partner testimonials. Names and identifying details have been changed to protect privacy and maintain HIPAA compliance.
