The payment amount though for non service related injury/disability or even basic medical services is solely based on vets income AFTER criteria of your priority level is determined.
IOW if a vet disabled from any means or not receives medical services from VA & is below poverty level the payment for medical services will likely be $0. It is a sliding scale proportional to your income. I know because I receive VA medical services with a non service related disability. {I'm on SSDI} & I use VA for my hearing aids, glasses, and corrective feet insoles which Medicare/Medicaid I am also under does not cover. I pay no payment to VA.
Thank you for the info.
What I know about the VA generally is about my own specific situation. I know there is many ways to determine a Vet’s benefits as I found in the few years I been dealing with them. I never knew it would have to do with the income level. Although that makes sense. 3 years ago I twisted my ankle very badly. I went into my VA assign primary care physician, so that he can take a look at it. At this point I never provided the VA an insurance card. On the way out I ask them when I might receive the bill. They told me that since I don’t have insurance, that they are my insurance. I gave them my card, I wasn’t aware they never had it. I thought I gave it to them when I first came there.
Thank you again for your information.
