Optumserve Health Services, Inc. (doing business as LHI), a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group Incorporated, was awarded a delivery order contract on January 1, 2026, for FY26 funding of medical disability examinations with a ceiling value of $714.1 million. The contract is a firm fixed price delivery order with an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2026, and will be performed in La Crosse, Wisconsin. This award was made without a set-aside designation by the VA Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick, reflecting Optumserve's status as an established federal contractor. The delivery order is issued under the MDE 2025 Regions 1-4 Recompete parent contract, which represents the Department of Veterans Affairs' broader effort to conduct medical disability examinations for veterans undergoing compensation and pension evaluations.

Medical disability examinations are a core function supporting the VA's disability benefits program, which determines eligibility and rating levels for veteran compensation claims. Optumserve has demonstrated extensive capability in this area through its $3.3 billion Medical Disability Examination IDIQ contract vehicle covering VA Regions 1-4. Under this delivery order, the contractor will conduct comprehensive medical evaluations, document clinical findings, and provide examination reports that inform VA disability rating decisions. The company's subsidiary structure and parent company's healthcare infrastructure position it to manage the logistics of scheduling, conducting examinations at multiple locations, and processing results efficiently across the designated regions.
