Veteran reviewing medical documentation with a healthcare professional

Not Sure Where to Start?

Choose the Path That Matches the Type of Evidence You Need

Physical and medical conditions generally begin with a Tactical Record Analysis. Mental health services begin with provider matching based on the state where you will be physically located during your evaluation. When a clinical evaluation is needed, it is completed securely via telehealth from the comfort of your own home.

Clinical Integrity

Medical Evidence Should Reflect the Evidence — Not a Promised Outcome

Valor Health providers and reviewers maintain independent professional judgment. Medical opinions, diagnoses, and findings are provided only when supported by the records and evaluation.

Important to Understand

Purchasing a Valor Health service does not guarantee service connection, an increased rating, a particular DBQ finding, a favorable medical opinion, or any specific VA decision.

Valor Health provides independent medical evidence and informational record-review services. VA makes all benefit and rating decisions.

Valor Health does not represent Veterans before VA, prepare or file claims, or determine entitlement to VA benefits.

Still Not Sure Which Service You Need?

A free Case Evaluation can help determine which Valor Health starting point makes the most sense based on the type of medical evidence you are seeking. If a clinical evaluation is needed, you can complete it securely via telehealth from the comfort of your own home.
