Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs)
What is a DBQ and why does the VA use it?
A DBQ is a standardized medical form that lets doctors
describe the severity of a condition in VA‑friendly terms.
The VA relies on DBQs to match your symptoms with the
correct diagnostic code and rating criteria.
The right DBQ speaks the VA’s language and can
speed up your claim.
Who can complete my DBQ?
Any licensed clinician may fill one out, but the VA gives
more weight to specialists who review your full record.
Every DBQ we deliver is authored and signed by a
board‑certified MD or DO who understands VA standards.
Specialist credentials = stronger evidence.
How much does it cost?
- $150 per condition‑specific DBQ
- $200 one‑time record review
(waived if we’ve already reviewed your file)
Flexible, interest‑free payment plans keep budgeting easy.
Flat‑rate pricing—no hidden fees.
Which DBQs can be completed via telehealth?
We handle internal‑medicine, psychiatry, many orthopedic,
skin, and headache DBQs remotely. Forms that require
imaging or physical tests—like goniometry—must be done
in person by a local provider.
Some conditions need hands‑on exams—ask us what can be done online.
Our 3‑step process
- Upload & consent – Securely share your VA
and medical records through our HIPAA‑compliant portal. - MD review & call – A physician reviews your
file and schedules a brief telehealth visit if needed. - Delivery – Receive your completed DBQ within
about 14 days in an encrypted PDF.
Three simple steps from records to ready‑to‑file paperwork.
Will the VA reimburse my DBQ fee?
No. The VA does not cover private DBQ costs, but a precise
form can shorten claim timelines and prevent costly
appeals.
An accurate DBQ is an investment in faster, stronger claims.
