Guest terrysturgis
I have been 100% TDIU P&T since 2001. I use private medical care outside of the VA but I have to go to the VA for a checkup twice a year. The last time I went they asked me if I had private medical insurance. I told that I am 100% P&T and did not give them any insurance information. My wife's insurance takes good care of me and I do not believe the VA has a right to bill them. Lo and behold yesterday I got a copy from my wife's insurance that the VA billed them for my semi annual visit.
I just got "reevaluated". They checked my earned income and sent me a decision letter that said "TDIU was to be continued". I am not gainfully employed.
Having said that the VA did not get the insurance information from me I wonder if they didn't discover the INS info during the reevaluation.
I guess what upsets me most is my private Doctor not the VA discovered the DMII and PN. By my using outside care I believe it leaves more room for other vets who do not have insurance to get health care they need. Terry Sturgis
