ptsd Nam Vet With Er Services Covered Under "millennium Act"?

[FLvetwife]

My husband is waitng for his service connected disability rating.

We have no income, he has no health insurance.

We have been selling off assetts to live.(This is not a complaint,just a fact of life)

He has been treated for severe PTSD at the VA for the last 2 years.

His claim is over 2 years old at this point. Should be decided soon as all info is before rating board now.

Question:

Conflict with a neighbor, police called, husband had mental breakdown, police enacted the "Baker Act" (under this act:instead of jail, police take him to the ER then Mental Hospital for evaluation).

I am waiting on the 10-583 form.

I read the HR 2116 subtitle B sec 111

"Millenium Health Care Act; reimbursement for ER treatment"

As this is PTSD, flashbacks, service connected but not yet rated..... who pays the bills?

Does the Millennium Act come into play?

Anyone with advice on what to do next?

Any information on medical expense reimbursment for expenses in a non-authorised facility while claim is pending?

please advise

I want to thank everyone for the information we have received.

We could not have survived the process without so much help from so many.

After a visit with the county rep, we are waitng with baited breath on THE check. 2 years worth. It is wonderful to know we won't loose the house.

The rep was not familiar with the ER/eligibilty forms. But, we got thru it. The hospital bills are approved and will be paid. Such a relief.It isn't enough to make an apponment, it takes making one's self aware.

It took three months of phone calls, I got the run around, some out of honest mistakes (like giving me the fee bsais office number to an office in Biloxi that was destroyed in the hurricane...). But I did not quit until all was done.

Thanks everyone.
