Section 1 · The Hub

What the Direct Care Support Professionals Hub Is

A reference resource and the home of Veterans Desk’s Independent Members Directory for licensed Direct Care Support Professionals who serve veterans through the VA Community Care Network. The Hub is educational. The directory is informational. Every member operates their own practice.

Independent Members Directory & Education

Built for Independent Practice

The DCSP Hub is where veterans find independent licensed members participating in the VA Community Care Network — and where members find clear, plain-language information about the CCN, TRICARE, and CHAMPVA without wading through federal documentation.

Section 2 · Membership Process

Become a Member in Four Steps

Joining the Independent Members Directory is straightforward. We verify your independent practice credentials, you choose your tier, and your member profile goes live. The whole process typically takes 5–10 business days.

1

Submit Your Business Profile

Complete the membership sign-up form with your business name, business logo, business address, and the credentials of the team working under your business. About 10 minutes.

2

Verification Review

We verify your business is operating legitimately and confirm the credentials of your team (CMA, CCMA, RMA, RN, LPN, CPC, CCS, CHES, and others). Early members coming from the VA Community Care Provider page are fast-tracked through this step.

3

Choose Your Membership Tier

Pick the membership tier that fits your practice — Standard, Professional, or Featured. Tiers are administrative, not preferential.

4

Submit Your Business Profile

Your listing publishes within 48 hours of verification. Edit your profile anytime through the member portal.

Section 3 · Membership Tiers

Choose Your Membership Tier

Three tiers, all transparent. None of the tiers create preferential placement in copay relief, change directory ranking, or affect veteran-facing search results. Tiers fund the platform — they do not influence editorial or directory content.

 
Tier 1

Standard Membership

$99.99 / month

Verified business listing for independent DCSP businesses

Tier 2

Professional Membership

$199.99 / month

Enhanced business profile for established DCSP businesses

Tier 3

Featured Membership

$299.99 / month

Maximum visibility for growing DCSP businesses

All membership tiers require a verified business and recognized team credentials (CMA, CCMA, RMA, RN, LPN, CPC, CCS, CHES, or equivalent). Early members from the VA Community Care Provider page are fast-tracked through verification. Membership is month-to-month with no long-term commitment. Tiers are administrative and fund platform operations — they do not influence directory ranking or copay relief eligibility.

Section 4 · What to Expect

What to Expect From Veterans Desk

Transparency about what we do, what we don’t do, and where the lines are drawn between our role as an educational nonprofit and your role as an independent provider.

1

You Remain Fully Independent

Veterans Desk does not employ, manage, supervise, or direct your practice. You operate independently as a licensed professional, and your relationship with veterans is yours alone.

2

No Patient Steering or Referral Fees

We list participating members; veterans choose their own providers. We never accept payment for directory placement order, never refer for kickbacks, and never insert ourselves between you and your patient.

3

Educational Content Only

Our resources explain how the CCN works at a policy level. We do not provide medical advice, billing consultation, or legal guidance. Consult your billing service, your attorney, and the VA directly.

4

No PHI Handling

Veterans Desk is not a HIPAA-covered entity. We never touch, transmit, or store Protected Health Information. Patient communications happen between you and the veteran — outside our platform entirely.

5

Plain Communication

You'll hear from us when something matters: directory updates, content opportunities, sponsorship announcements. No daily marketing emails, no upsell pressure.

6

Mutual Cancellation

Cancel your membership anytime through the member portal — your profile is removed within 48 hours. We may also remove members for license lapses or directory standards violations, with notice.

Section 5 · Member Education

Member Blogs & Resources

Practical, plain-language guidance for members serving veterans. From CCN reimbursement workflow to medical-debt prevention, written for independent practices navigating government-payer healthcare.
