Medical Bills

[bulldogpete]

My insurance is covering a lot of my current medical bills, but I am still responsible for quite a bit. Once the VA grants my disability claim (being optimistic), can I file to have the VA reimburse me the cost of my medical bills (The ones related to my service related injury).

So true, Cool Breeze- there is a reason behind every question and, before answering, ask yourself "Why are they asking me this?"

Not in order to be deceptive, but just to look out for your own interests because nobody else is....(cept US

I have tricare insurance-when they ask me if I have any medical insurance, I tell them no. It is none of their business. They are very, very noisy. Last week after they asked me again-I told them to check my disability, I believe I am rated 50% correct-they shut their mouth. One must remember that once you walk into a VA facility you must think twice before you open your yap as someone is watching,writing down everything , and most importantly watching how you walk. Also the common phrase "and how are feeling today". Hell, I am in so much pain, I can't sleep, ect, ect.

It really doesnt matter if you have Tricare, Medicare or any other Goverment insurance. Tha VA cannot bill these entities.

I dont like being asked questions and the employees at the VA dont either but they have too. It is their jobs. When a Nurse asks how you are feeling, Just say Im Making it, Dont be too detailed.

You are correct about things being written down.
