Maximus company VES has been re-awarded contracts with the Veterans Benefits Administration to provide Medical Disability Exams for veterans in Regions 1-4.
The contracts have a 1-year base period and a single option year, with a cumulative value that reflects current and anticipated production volumes. VES will continue serving Regions 1-4, as well as the other two regions already under contract, ensuring uninterrupted service to the VBA.
âIâm proud of our VES team for their dedication to the VBAâs mission and this award recognizes our ongoing successful partnership with the VBA,â said Maximus President and CEO Bruce Caswell. âWe are proud to have earned the trust of the VBA as an effective and value-oriented partner while investing in ongoing operational enhancements to further improve the Veteran experience.â
The MDE program is a critical component of the VBAâs Compensation and Pension program, which provides benefits to veterans, their dependents and survivors. Through the MDE program, VBA receives medical evidence to determine the extent of permanent impairment, and the percentage of disability that defines the financial benefit a veteran is awarded.
âOur singular focus at VES is to provide the best services to Veterans and Service members through the MDE program so the VBA has everything they need to make accurate benefits determinations,â said Rob Nydam, managing director for VES Operations. âWe are committed to continuing our work alongside the VBA to deliver high-quality services of vital importance to our nationâs Veterans.â
