Serving veterans across Maryland, start to finish from home
Maryland has a large veteran community anchored by major installations like Fort Meade, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Joint Base Andrews and the U.S. Naval Academy, with veterans spread from the Baltimore and Washington suburbs to the Eastern Shore and the western mountains. Wherever you live in Maryland, strong medical evidence is often the difference in a disability claim.
Patriot NEXUS Letters provides independent medical opinions and psychological evaluations to veterans across Maryland by secure telehealth. A licensed provider reviews your service treatment records, VA records and private records and writes a citation-backed medical opinion. Call (844) 368-2757 to discuss your medical evidence.

Visit the Maryland Department of Veterans AffairsHow remote medical opinions work for Maryland veterans
VA disability compensation is a federal benefit. Claims from Maryland veterans are decided under the same federal rules as claims everywhere else - Title 38 of the U.S. Code and the regulations in 38 C.F.R. Part 3 - not under state law.
Under 38 C.F.R. § 3.159, competent medical evidence is evidence from a person qualified through education, training or experience to offer a medical opinion. VA weighs each opinion on the provider's qualifications and the reasoning given, not on whether the provider lives in Maryland.
That is why our licensed physicians (M.D. and D.O.) and clinical psychologists (Psy.D.) can review records and, when an evaluation is involved, meet by secure telehealth with veterans anywhere in Maryland. No medical opinion can guarantee a VA decision, and VA makes the final determination on every claim.
Serving veterans in Maryland
Missing medical evidence is why most Maryland claims stall.
The VA rarely denies a claim because a veteran is not credible. It denies claims because the file does not contain a medical opinion connecting a current diagnosis to service. That is the gap we close for veterans in Maryland.
