V.I.P. PHYSICIAN WORKFLOW

Thank you for your interest in Veterans In Pain V.I.P. as a way to give back to our country’s Veterans suffering from chronic pain, the invisible legacy of war.

A central component to our program is that the personal experiences of our VIP Physicians as well as members of your office support team are just as fulfilling, and comfortable with our facilitation process, as the experiences of our VIP Veterans. 

Our vision is a combined effort on all fronts to create a meaningful experience in uniting Interventional & Alternative specialists with our country’s heroes, while creating long-term change in the accessibility of Regenerative solutions for Veterans on a national scale. 

We look forward to communicating personally at any point along the way, and again, offer our deepest gratitude for your extended generosity and dedication in support of our returning service men and women suffering from chronic pain.

V.I.P. - PHYSICIAN WORKFLOW - BILLING: 

VIP Physicians provide consultation and professional services pro bono to the Veteran. However, if approved by the Veteran, Physician may submit billable services as insurance-only. See #3 of Physician Workflow below for more information.

Essential to our VIP Physician Workflow is that our physicians remain in complete control of the treatment process, and never bare the burden of hard cost expenses. 

VIP - PHYSICIAN WORKFLOW: 

1. Once we declare candidacy of a VIP Veteran Applicant, we will submit the patient-summary with Veteran's contact information the Physician. 

1. Physician reaches out to his/her VIP Veteran, welcomes them to their practice and schedules the consultation/Tele-consult. 

3. If approved for treatment, please notify VIPof any required product or device needed to move forward with the Veteran's procedure(s). Have your current distributor connect with us so we may introduce our program and the benefits of donating, which also helps decrease the hard cost expenses if such donations are not procured.. If a donation from your current distributor is not possible, please allow us to connect you with one of our official partners who may be willing to do so. Our goal is for our participating physicians to avoid any outlay of expenses by donating their services to our program. 

4. Postoperatively is where V.I.P. steps back in and coordinates postoperative multidisciplinary solutions available at no cost to our V.I.P. Veterans through our partnerships including • Chord Health • Amp Recover, virtual online physical therapy platforms • Naturopathic Guidance through certified & dedicated practitioners • psychological and emotional support through our “V.I.P. Cell Mate” Zoom program - uniting our program’s post-operative Veterans with our V.I.P. ‘Sponsors’ for the first 12 months of recovery who have undergone a prior yet similar procedure and recovery. 

- A Physician may accept as few or as many V.I.P. Veterans as you feel comfortable. You are never under any obligation to accept a Veteran submission. What is most important, is for each experience to bring meaning to the lives of both our Veterans as well as our V.I.P. Physicians.
