How Much Does a VA Nexus Letter Cost?
There are different factors that go into the cost of a VA nexus letter. These documents must be written by medical professionals, and the extent of their experience can vary. In general, you can expect to pay more for a letter from a specialist compared to one from a nurse practitioner.
The good news is that you do not have to go into this process unclear on what a VA nexus letter will cost. At Elite Medical Review Associates, we offer a transparent fee structure designed to provide our clients with the most value. Reach out today to learn how we can help.
Our Fee Structure
At Elite Medical Review Associates, we use fixed prices for the services we provide. While our billing structure can change, what we charge largely depends on whether your claim is best served by a letter from a specialist. For example, reports from chiropractors are $797, whereas reports from orthopedic specialists are $2,000. The difference in price is related to the cost of a specialist’s time. It is also possible to rely on a report from a non-physician, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Let our team connect you with the right expert for your case.
Can I Get a VA Letter on a Contingency-Fee Basis?
While some consulting companies are willing to take this approach, we believe that a standard fee structure is appropriate. Many doctors are unwilling to perform this work when it is contingent on the success of your claim. This approach is likely unfair to you as well, given that you could give up a large chunk of your settlement to the doctor based on the contingency agreement. Our fee structure provides you with the certainty of knowing what a letter will cost.
What If I Can’t Afford a Letter?
You are not obligated to include a nexus letter when you file a disability claim with the VA. It is understandable if you opt to skip including a letter based on your concerns with the cost. If you are living on a tight budget, this expense might simply be impossible for you to cover.
