halos2 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Thanks a bunch! Just copied it so now when I ask pain dr. ay VA to write one for me he will not look at me like I am crazy. http://www.nvlsp.com/images/VHADirective2007.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockhound Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I'm trying to understand this derective. What do they mean when our Dr. must avoid any conflict of interests? Aren't his interests supposed to be the Veteran he is treating. What conflict of interests are they talking about? Rockhound Rider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted July 13, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 13, 2008 VA conflict of interest is for the Doc to make it easier for Vet to get benefits as the VA is guarding the gate to the US Treasury. Sorry for my cynicism this comment was made tongue in cheek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcafee Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I approach my PCP with this very thing and presented the Directive to him he said absoloutely not will he give his opinion as to the state of my physical condition he atsted that all the necessary information is in the treatment records.To me he set the tone right there and i am now looking for a replacement for him if your PCP can not be your best advocate its time to move on .

ruby Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 My Rhemu specalist did without hesitation. My derm specalist who is a contract MD, said he would have to ask the Unit medical director, who said NO! I don't think I would ask my PCP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
