100% disability How to receive Health care if your 100% disabled

[Torie S]

Hello! New to forum. I have some questions about 100% disability. My husband has  been awarded 100% and we should receive his letter in the next month or two. We will be moving to a different state and will have access to a Veterans Hospital about 40 miles from home. However, my husband has severe heart failure and is only 46 and needs regular health care and occasional emergency care (when he gets defibrillated during non office hours). How will we go about receiving emergency care? Ambulance service? Specialized cardiac care? Transplant?

Is he required to go to the VA or can we receive medical care through a private physician?

Will the VA pay for his medical bills?

Do we need private insurance?

Also, if neither of us are working and we have young children would we qualify for Medicaid?

Please respond with information or a place we could look for answers. Thank you so much.
