DIAMOND BAR, Calif., April 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- QTC Medical
 Services, Inc. announced the award of the Department of Veterans Affairs
 contract to administer Compensation and Pension (C&P) disability
 examinations to veterans living in Louisiana and New Mexico. The cities
 served in Louisiana are New Orleans and Alexandria while counties in New
 Mexico include Bernalillo, Sandoval, Santa Fe, Taos, Rio Arriba, San Juan,
 Chaves, and Eddy. This is a two year contract with over 8,000 exam
 referrals per contract year.
     This is the second contract of this nature to be awarded to QTC. In
 1998, QTC was the first private company to be awarded the contract to
 administer compensation and pension (C&P) disability exams on behalf of the
 Department of Veterans Affairs. In 2003, QTC was re-awarded the contract
 that covers ten VA Regional Offices: Los Angeles, CA, San Diego, CA, Salt
 Lake City, UT, Seattle, WA, Houston, TX, Muskogee, OK, Atlanta, GA, Boston,
 MA, Roanoke, VA, and Winston-Salem, NC. The contract also encompasses
 examinations for service members who are seeking benefits delivery at
 discharge (BDD) exams and shared exams for VA and DoD at 36 military
 installations. BDD exams are administered when active duty members want to
 file a claim for VA benefits prior to their separation/retirement. VA and
 DoD's shared exams involve active duty members requiring both a BDD exam
 and a DoD separation exam.
     "This kind of an award is based, not only on being price competitive,
 but most importantly on the tremendous strength of QTC's quality
 performance in a very demanding environment," said Chief Operating Officer,
 Dr. James Peake. "This is where we assure quality and timely examinations
 with a focus on customer service for America's heroes - in this case our
 veterans."
