hello everyone, i am trying to figure out how to do this. i don't find it user friendly. it's nice to be here. i violated pain contract for going to private er and mentioning it to pcp. get ltr saying i violated, i couldn't believe it. i asked pt advocate about appeal never have rec'd answer. a new ? advocate said i could write my pcp, because they can reinstate, well this should be interesting since i have sent emails to her that were strongly worded, so i don't know. this i do know,from what i read the va is required to provide a copy of the contract after signing, this was never done before i got into va, private md's always provided copy, so therefore they have violated. i am also curious about secure messaging and hippa, it appears that the msgs go to a central spot and then moved on which means someone else is reading them. i read the forum about getting lyrica through your psych, can this also work for pain meds and can my neurosurgeon provide them to me. i have appts with all 3 the last week of mar. any guidance would greatly be appreciated. thanks
