Why do I need to submit my medical history?
Your medical history will be summarized and reviewed by your doctor during each visit to ensure accurate assessments of your conditions.
The Importance of Submitting Your Medical History
Submitting your medical history is a crucial step in the VetVantage process. It allows doctors to efficiently review your past medical records and ensure that your Disability Benefits Questionnaire (DBQ) is completed with the most accurate information
- Summarization for Efficiency: VetVantage uses advanced technology to summarize large medical records, condensing potentially hundreds of pages into an easy-to-read format
- Condition-Specific Focus: The summary will highlight information relevant to your service-connected disabilities, making it easier for doctors to evaluate your case
- Faster & More Accurate Evaluations: With a well-organized summary, doctors can quickly determine if additional testing is needed and provide truthful, well-documented responses on the DBQ
- Ensuring a Proper VA Rating: By submitting a clear and concise medical history, you help ensure that the VA accurately assesses your disability rating, which may impact your benefits and compensation
If you have extensive medical records, VetVantage simplifies the process by focusing only on what is necessary for your VA claim. This reduces review time and ensures your provider has the most relevant information for your evaluation
