Prescriptions For Secondary Illness

Rate this topic


Recommended Posts

I have chronic diarrhea and hyperlipidemia due to the meds I take for my Service connected condition.

I am getting billed for two meds, one for chronic diarrhea and the other for hyperlipidemia. Both of these are side effects from the primary illness. My doctor(s) have already opined that these are secondary to my primary but the pharmacy is still billing me.

Should these be fully paid for since they are related to the primary condition????

I have one pending for Chronic Diarrhea but according to VA rules they don't do hyperlipidemia. I tried but was notified that it can't.

File a claim for them as secondary conditions.

If you are 50% as your profile states they are not supposed to charge you a penny.
