The other criteria is the VA not being able to get you an appointment within 30 days. I saw a kidney specialist and a cardiologist in less than 30 days. I’ve got appointments with a neurologist and a hematologist. Both were within 30 days of asking for the appointments.
The problem with the choice program is it has to be pre-approved and it has to be with a provider that will accept you.
Meanwhile the VA is eliminating several tests such as mammograms, colonoscopies etc for veterans over the age of 65...
I was told yesterday that few older people get those diseases so there is no need for the tests..
Oh and we use to see our doctor every six months ...
that’s being changed to once a year or every 2 years...
I was asked yesterday did I want to come back in 6 months or next year and my doctor said since I was healthy he would have to justify making me an appointment to come back in 6 months but after that it would be once a year...
because of my age...66..
Nice eh ???
Meanwhile the illegal aliens of all ages stream into the ERs for the sniffles and we pay for their visits...
