Thanks I have one more app't then a review of tests then to the VA for their determination. It will be interesting to see what they say. Veterans were waiting months on end for appointments, having to travel a long way to finally see a VA doctor. And they may still have to as there are only three in our area. Pocomoke, Cambridge and Dover. I do not believe the all offer the same services and of course the older one gets the more difficult it can be to drive long distances. Now, by law, if you have to wait 30 days for an appointment the VA sends you to an outside provider. This is great however one should not just accept the doctor they recommend. They should look up and see their reviews. I say this because they wanted me to see a Dr. for an exam and after I saw the reviews I told them no. They asked why and I said he had six reviews and they were all ones. They understood and provided a different doctor. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: John, hope all the tests come back negative. Agent Orange, burn pits, and various other exposures took a toll on out Veterans. The VA went through a transition during the Trump era for the better after a few of the directors were fired for incompetency. Veterans were waiting months on end for appointments, having to travel a long way to finally see a VA doctor. Now, by law, if you have to wait 30 days for an appointment the VA sends you to an outside provider. The Va keeps your medicare and supplemental insurance on file and will charge supplemental if you have it. In my opinion, they should also charge medicare for those Veterans that are eligible. Thank God for the VA as some of these poor disabled Veterans would not have care. |
