What to Expect

Your appointment with a QTC examiner will be very different from visiting your primary-care provider. The goal of your primary-care provider is to treat your condition(s) and maintain your overall health; whereas the QTC examiner's goal is to gather the medical evidence required by your referring agency.

The QTC examiner is following strict instructions from your referring agency to ensure that all benefit/employment determination requirements are met. Because the QTC examiner is not treating your condition(s), his or her approach may seem different than the approach taken by your primary-care provider.
