david walker Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 My doc is only trying to help, but this is not right. I live 80 miles from the VAMC. My doc has recommeded PT for a sc condition. I told him I could not drive that far and take off from work. He has suggested I go to a local PT center and let my insurance pay for it. Does anyone have any better suggestions. I lose either way. I will spend more money letting my insurance pay, but lose less time at work. If I go to the VA clinic I save money and lose time from work. Either way I lose :{ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted June 7, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 7, 2006 Sometimes you just have to do what is most convenient for you. Forget about the VA take care of yourself first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 7, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 7, 2006 David You would probably get better PT away from the VA. Driving 80 miles for an hour of PT 3 times a week is going to get old quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jstacy Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Ask about the possibility of Fee Basis PT. Maybe you can have it done locally at the VA's nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
