Welcome to the website of one of the most innovative programs in the nation. Designed to assure access to obstetrical services for all Commonwealth of Virginia residents, the Virginia Birth-Related Neurological Injury Compensation Program also has distinguished itself by assuring superior care for admitted children.
A Lifetime Of Care
Every year, birth-related neurological injuries happen. The Birth-Injury Program helps families care for these children over their lifetime.
The Program covers what insurance and other programs don’t — medically necessary expenses such as medical expenses, hospital expenses, rehabilitation expenses, in-home nursing care and much more. In fact, an extensive Virginia General Assembly Joint Legislative and Review Commission (JLARC) study conducted in 2002 states:
In addition to serving more birth-injured children than the tort system, the program provides benefits that exceed the medical malpractice cap for the typical child. (JLARC Review, Page 45)

While standard business turnaround is up to 30 days, the Program expects to continue as stated above until circumstances change.
