How to refer Veterans for CETCE Clinical Evaluations?
Complex Exposure Threats Center of Excellence (CETCE)
Veterans may be eligible for CETCE clinical evaluations if they have been contacted directly by CETCE through mail, or if there are concerns about:
-
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) occupational exposures, or
-
Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI) or Havana Syndrome, or
-
Chemical Warfare Agent (CWA) exposures
-
Sodium dichromate exposure at the Qarmat Ali (QA) Water Treatment Plant in Iraq (2003)
CETCE is actively reviewing Veterans health information for our current exposure cohorts. VA providers may request at CETCE clinical evaluation through the WRIISC interdisciplinary clinical consult for Veterans who are:
-
Members of a current CETCE exposure cohort
-
Medically and psychiatrically stable for CETCE evaluation
Details on how to complete a WRIISC interdisciplinary clinical consult for a CETCE evaluation are outlined here. VA primary care providers should indicate on the WRIISC consult the reason for the CETCE referral by outlining the CETCE exposure concern (i.e., EOD, AHI, CWA, and/or QA).
