Job Description Optometrist / Ophthalmologist – Part-Time (1–3
Days/Week) Private Practice Setting – Tucson, Arizona Flexible
Schedule | No Treatment | No Prescribing | Veterans Disability
Exams A well-established private practice in Tucson, AZ is seeking
an Optometrist (OD) or Ophthalmologist (MD/DO) to perform
non-treatment disability examinations for U.S. Veterans. This is an
excellent opportunity to add supplemental income with a predictable
schedule and no follow-up care, prescribing, or long-term patient
management. This role can accommodate 1–3 days per week (8-hour
clinic days) and is performed on-site within your existing practice
. Position Overview You will conduct one-time Compensation &
Pension (C&P) examinations for Veterans. These are structured,
evaluation-only assessments. You will not diagnose new conditions,
prescribe medication, or provide treatment. All documentation is
submitted electronically to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
for disability rating decisions. You do not make disability
determinations. Key Responsibilities Review medical history,
service records, prior exam reports, and VA documentation. Conduct
structured, one-time disability assessments based on VA Disability
Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs). Enter exam findings directly into a
web-based EMR in real time. Explain the exam process and confirm
claimed conditions with the Veteran. Complete and submit
documentation within 24–48 hours . Administer and interpret visual
field testing when applicable. Provide Medical Opinions (MO) when
required, including rebuttal of prior findings when supported by
evidence. Ensure professional, compassionate interaction with
Veterans—including those accompanied by service animals.
Qualifications Required: Doctor of Optometry (OD) or
Ophthalmologist (MD/DO) with an active Arizona license. Strong
attention to detail and ability to analyze medical records.
Professionalism, compassion, and excellent interpersonal
communication skills. Proficiency with EMR systems and basic
computer applications (Microsoft Office Suite). Ability to work
independently and manage deadlines efficiently. Preferred: Prior
experience in a clinical setting Previous VA or C&P evaluation
experience (training will be provided) Ideal Candidate Traits
Detail-oriented and highly organized Comfortable working
autonomously Strong time-management skills with the ability to meet
strict deadlines Professional, empathetic, and committed to Veteran
care Tech-savvy and comfortable with digital documentation
Compensation Structure This is a contracted per-exam model , not
hourly employment. If you perform ONLY DBQ Eye Exams (most common)
16 exams/day × $175 = $2,800/day If you average 12 exams/day (more
realistic) 12 exams/day × $175 = $2,100/day DBQ Optometry exams
typically take ~30 minutes to perform and complete.
