Governor McAuliffe announced today that DOMA Technologies,
LLC, a Virginia Beach-based company that specializes in cloud-based data and
document management, plans to create 150 new jobs and lease an additional
15,000 square feet of office space in Virginia Beach. The expansion will
support the company’s recent multi-million four-year contract award from the
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to help improve timeliness for the
processing of claims for disability benefits. The additional office space will
be adjacent to DOMA Technologies’ corporate headquarters at 2875 Sabre St.,
where it currently occupies 21,200 square feet.
DOMA’s cloud-based data and document management platform
will serve as the Private Medical Record (PMR) Portal providing all workflow
functionality and secure record storage necessary to request, receive, process
and transmit medical records to the Veterans Benefits Administration
(VBA). Claims Support Representatives in
DOMA’s Virginia Beach offices will work with 54 regional Veterans Affairs Regional
Offices, healthcare providers and third-party organizations from across the
country in processing up to 32,500 requests per month.
“The efficient benefits processing services that DOMA
Technologies will provide to our veterans and their families are truly
invaluable,” said Governor McAuliffe. “Virginia has the highest number of veterans
per capita in the entire United States, and it continues to grow. Each year
thousands of veterans go without adequate mental and physical healthcare, and
disability benefits are critical to their wellbeing. I applaud this
Virginia-based, veteran-owned company on its proactive approach to be part of
the solution. It is a priority for my Administration to secure employment for
our veterans and ensure that healthcare is available. I am working to build a
New Virginia Economy, and I am proud that DOMA Technologies’ expansion and
addition of 150 new jobs to service this important contract are part of this
movement.”
“I’d like to congratulate Pat Feliciano and his team for their
leadership and capabilities in securing this important contract with the
Department of Veteran’s Affairs,” said Virginia Beach Mayor William D. Sessoms,
Jr. “We are confident that, with the quality workforce available in Virginia
Beach, DOMA Technologies will be extremely successful as they seek to fill
these 150 new permanent positions and provide a valuable service to an
important segment of our population.”
National planning sessions began at DOMA Technologies on
Sept. 9, 2014, when members of the Veterans Benefits Administration Program
Management Team flew down to Virginia Beach. Mayor Sessoms, also stopped by
DOMA Technologies that day to express his gratitude to the Veterans Benefits
Administration, Compensation Service and the PMR program team for their
