purple Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 All of your healthcare will be provided by the (drumroll please)................VA. Does your letter say that you are 100% IU and P&T? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted August 2, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 2, 2009 (edited) Do you have your award letter? This kicks the benefits in to play. Just go to www.va.gov and download the Champ VA application form, fill it out and send it in. Dont forget toattach a copy of the award letter. You have 6 months to seek Dr visits back to your effective date. Dont wait for them to send you anything if you have your award letter.

At IU-100% comp., the VA will pay your premiums, if you request it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noscopes4me Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks to all who have posted. im talking about i think its Vha? The medical insurance I am gatting. I have a card from the Va but I have recieved any information about where I can and cant go. My wife filled out the champVa for herself and my daughter. And we are still waiting for a response. We will probably call them tommororw. I would have sooner but I hurt my back yesterday and had to go to the local E.R. And was wondering if this will be paid by them or not. Yes I am 100%iu p&t thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noscopes4me Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Quick fix to last post I have not recieved information from the vha or champVa for spouse and child as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purple Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 You are supposed to go to your local VA hospital for all of your healthcare. There isn't really any "insurance" for you. As far as you going to a local civilian ER, as long as the VA deems it was a true emergency and the VA wasn't closer....they should pay for it. But normally if it isn't an emergency (like you need to be in an ambulance), visits like that either aren't paid or should be pre-approved. First thing Monday morning contact the Fee-Basis office at your local VAMC and let them know that you went to a civilian hospital! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
