Get your claims recognised.
We specialise in diagnosis of disease in accordance with the DVA Statements of Principles and the ICD-10.
This is done through a process of history, examination and investigation, and integrated into your healthcare, and with Impairment Assessments in mind.
For many injuries and diseases, DVA requires diagnosis by a specialist including test or imaging reports. The DVA Diagnosis form is used, along with supporting information, to create the basis for the claim.
The process consists of a thorough assessment of the history, examination, investigations and we use this to ensure that you have met the criteria for having your claim accepted, as well as informing the future Permanent Impairment Assessment.
In this way, you have created an accurate and tight DVA claim that will ideally “sail through” the process of Claim Acceptance within DVA, and avoid adminsitrative and clincial issues with your DVA claim.
DVA Diagnosis Form
At completion of the process, we find every possible claim, and fill out the D2409 forms to the standard required by DVA, with supporting information to back up the claim.
