335 Cannon House Office Building

Washington, DC 20515

OK! Veterans why should we go to Washington, read the below information if you do nothing you lose everything, don't think that this something to beover look. You think because your a 100 per center, your not amuned think again. If you live in Virginia , Maryland or 3 hours from Washington , get your butt to the April 25 March and assemble, at 0 900 a.m. on the west front of the lawn facing the Capitol and then March to the Cannon House Building on April 26, time 10:00 a.m. Room 340, if you want to do something do it right lets show our government when the grassroots Veterans, have had enough we talk to walk and we walk to talk.

Can anyone prove to me, Gene D. Simes that this is not true:

As a Veteran concern,about Canandaigua VAMC, I have recently run into a confusing series of events by Hollywood acters,that manige the healthcare pertaining to the Service Connected veterans and that's you the 100 per centers. ( The Vaseline will be given free of charge to those qualifying get the message )

1.. !00% SC veterans are receiving bills directly from community providers, like FFT Hospital.

2.. They are given no reason for these bills and have not been advised to seek NAO

(Network Authorization Office) assistance with these bills.

3.. It has become apparent that the Canandaigua VAMC has somehow decided that

they will not pay for community services. It is unclear how they decided this or when, but it is rapidly becoming an issue.

4.. According to a NON-VA source, a county service officer (nobody internally had an answer), veterans who are 100% SC are still made to pay for services IF THEY HAVE NOT BEEN DECLARED "P/T" (Permanent/ and Total) on their data sheet in the MAS (Medical Administrative Services) record for a total of TWENTY YEARS. If they have a letter stating exactly WHEN they became SC the bill might be paid by the VA. Again, if it is over 20 years. Or ten??

If they are declared P/T ten years after their SC began they are also covered??

5.. And if there is a question, the P/T can be appealed to be made part of the MAS record. Most of the MAS records state "unanswered". Was the question asked ??

6.. There is also the MILL BILL which will pay a percentage, with the understanding

that the community facility will NOT bill the veteran for the balance.

However, to make a long story short, there is massive confusion about bills, how many years you have to be SC, if you are "P/T", what it means and what happens to the newer veterans (less than 10 or 20 years SC) who have been declared 100% SC…..All this in a community where medical services/procedures are no longer offered at the VA…so they

bill the veteran directly for something not under their control??

P.S. most of these veterans do not have insurance.

Does anyone out there have an answer?
