Private Practice Setting Tucson, Arizona
Flexible Schedule No Treatment No Prescribing Veterans Disability Exams

A well-established private practice in Tucson, AZ is seeking an Optometrist (OD) or Ophthalmologist (MD/DO) to perform non-treatment disability examinations for U.S. Veterans. This is an excellent opportunity to add supplemental income with a predictable schedule and no follow-up care, prescribing, or long-term patient management.

This role can accommodate 1 3 days per week (8-hour clinic days) and is performed on-site within your existing practice.

You will conduct one-time Compensation & Pension (C&P) examinations for Veterans. These are structured, evaluation-only assessments. You will not diagnose new conditions, prescribe medication, or provide treatment.

All documentation is submitted electronically to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for disability rating decisions. You do not make disability determinations.

• Review medical history, service records, prior exam reports, and VA documentation.

• Conduct structured, one-time disability assessments based on VA Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs).

• Enter exam findings directly into a web-based EMR in real time.

• Explain the exam process and confirm claimed conditions with the Veteran.

• Complete and submit documentation within hours.

• Administer and interpret visual field testing when applicable.

• Provide Medical Opinions (MO) when required, including rebuttal of prior findings when supported by evidence.

• Ensure professional, compassionate interaction with Veterans including those accompanied by service animals.

Required:

• Doctor of Optometry (OD) or Ophthalmologist (MD/DO) with an active Arizona license.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to analyze medical records.

• Professionalism, compassion, and excellent interpersonal communication skills.

• Proficiency with EMR systems and basic computer applications (Microsoft Office Suite).

• Ability to work independently and manage deadlines efficiently.

Preferred:

• Prior experience in a clinical setting

• Previous VA or C&P evaluation experience (training will be provided)

• Detail-oriented and highly organized

• Comfortable working autonomously

• Strong time-management skills with the ability to meet strict deadlines

• Professional, empathetic, and committed to Veteran care

• Tech-savvy and comfortable with digital documentation

This is a contracted per-exam model, not hourly employment.

• 16 exams/day $175 = $2,800/day

• 12 exams/day $175 = $2,100/day

DBQ Optometry exams typically take 30 minutes to perform and complete.
