HadIt.com Elder Chuck75 Posted March 4, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 4, 2009 It might be interesting to see what is meant by the "conflict of interest" statements. How can a medical opinion by a treating doctor involve conflict of interest, unless, as I suspect, a veteran favorable opinion by a VA treating doctor may have "administrative" repercussions for the doctor. There used to even be a VA form for such an opinion. http://www.nosscr.org/pdfs/VHA-Directive-2008-071.pdf Directive 2008-071 Provision of Medical Statements and Completion of Forms by VA Health Care Providers Subject: Medical Records Systems, Computerized, Organizational Policy, Salaries and Fringe Benefits, Veterans Disability Claims, Eligibility Determination, Physician's Role, Insurance Page Info: www1.va.gov/vhapublications/ViewPublication.asp?pub_ID=1790 | 46k Also see: http://www.nvlsp.org/images/VHADirective2007.pdf From: alpost Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 7:43 PM To: VeteranIssues-owner@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [VeteranIssues] RE: Dan Cedusky has submitted a comment on Health.mil and would like you to know about it Dan On another subject Do you have a copy of the VHA memo advising VA doctors about giving letters to Veterans seeking evidence for VA disability claims?

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted March 4, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 4, 2009 Chuck: In the old days if a treating Doc helped Veterans he or she was subject to VA reprisals. My old shrink used to say that he would help as much as he could in progress notes but if he wrote a Medical Opinion favorable to my claim he could not treat me anymore. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike/3/8/cav Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 I have a question or two. When I requested a copy of my C&P exams I noticed at the bottom of the summary of the exam it states "Was a medical opinion requested? No. I thought the exam was for an opinion. I did'nt know I needed to ask for an opinion. Should a vet ask for an opinion? It makes me think I made a mistake notto ask for an opinion.
