purple Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 With the recent news of the unsanitary conditions at various VAMCs across the country when it comes to invasive testing I have a thought. If I'm schedule for ANY type of invasive test, surgery or anything I don't feel comfortable with the VA doing in the future, I'm going to demand (not ask, demand) that it be done fee-based. And I'll have all of the articles of the recent events in hand. I'm not willing to take the risk of the VAMC being stupid. Are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted March 30, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 30, 2009 Purple If you have medicare I would rely on that instead of trying to fight with the VA over Fee Base. Unless you are far from a VAMC the VA won't provide for fee base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbknor Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 VAMC are supposed to be in the top ten for Jokea accreditation. I know it is supposed to be spelled that way. Hope my wife doesn't see this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
