HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 14, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 14, 2010 Yes, and they will bill you for service connected issues as well until you stop them. It is not that easy to stop them. I have tried and tried and yet they continue to bill my private health plan for SC conditions and medications and even a C&P exam. I call the insurance company and tell them they are being defrauded. They don't want to try and find out which claims are valid NSC and which are SC inappropriate billings. They just pay and allow the VA to cost shift onto the backs of their paying customers. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Testvet Posted June 14, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 14, 2010 on my last visit the VA demanded my medicare card so I let them scan it I only have Medicare Part A they can't bill Medicare so even if I had Part B why demand our Medicare cards? The VA can not refuse to treat us when we turn 65 I am 100% plus so basically my entire medical care is their problem to tell the truth I have gotten better care at the VA than I did the civilian hospital next door so to me it's not about the money so much but as the point is they "broke it, and now they bought it" I know when my wife turns 62 she has to sign up for Part B it's in the CHAMPVA rule book for her to keep the CHAMPVA.......the VA will squeeze for all the nickels look at the new med hike increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Testvet Posted June 14, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 14, 2010 Pete I have no problem with the VA getting money from any legitimate source they can and I don't see Congress ever giving it's approval for the VA to send bills to medicare for veterans that just would not play well across the board for voters and most veterans do vote but I agree the VA will do anything and everything to get a dime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS WHICH DEFINE WHO CAN SIGN ON BEHALF OF THE VETERAN Just try to imagine the number of vets that the VA treats daily and then think of the cost. Congress allows the VA to collect from your insurance or health care. This ssupplements for the cost. It cost you nothing extra as the VA settles full payment from the insurance and you have no co payment. As a matter of fact I get a bill showing what the insurance paid--no co-charge to me and it also goes to count for your yearly charges you would otherwise pay. It definalty help the vets, all vets, because it helps defray their cost and allows the VA to provide better and more services their budget might not have quite enough mone otherwise. I am IU-PT and don't mind the insurance helping the VA yearly cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Testvet Posted June 14, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 14, 2010 callover if you filed a false claim you would be prosecuted fraud is fraud just because it goes to help veterans is not a justification for doing it and the VA sending bills to insurance companies for services they should not be is fraud just because the government is doing it does not make it legal it just makes it a fact of life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
