Independent medical opinions from licensed providers, for veterans in Tennessee. We offer records reviews, nexus letters, and independent psychological evaluations - all secure, remote, and flat fee, with a free phone discussion before you choose.
Local service options
Tennessee is home to more than 400,000 veterans, with military communities anchored by Fort Campbell near Clarksville, Arnold Air Force Base near Tullahoma and Naval Support Activity Mid-South in Millington. VA disability claims for Tennessee veterans are served by the Nashville VA Regional Benefit Office, and VA health care is provided through systems based in Nashville, Murfreesboro, Mountain Home and Memphis.
Wherever you live in Tennessee, you can work with Patriot NEXUS Letters from home. Our office is in Colorado, not Tennessee. A free phone discussion, secure record upload and telehealth when an evaluation is involved let us serve veterans across the state without a trip to our office. Call (844) 368-2757 to discuss your medical evidence.

Visit Tennessee Veterans ServicesVA disability compensation is a federal benefit. Claims from Tennessee 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 Tennessee.
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 Tennessee. No medical opinion can guarantee a VA decision, and VA makes the final determination on every claim.
Serving veterans in Tennessee
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 Tennessee.
