Suggest A Doctor For Imo

Rate this question


Valsacar

Question

I've been trying to get a hold of Dr. Bash for about a week, but no luck. Can anyone suggest another doctor that can do a good, strong, VA friendly IMO?

I am overseas currently, so I need someone that I can mail my records to and have them reviewed. I have statements from my doctors here, but they don't speak English well so the statements are not as strong, or VA friendly, as they should be.

The two things I need an IMO on are Eczema and Migraines.

Thanks.

I dont think Dr. Bash does skin disease claims...he could be trying to find a doctor who does......

Can the State Department help you find a doc in USA under the VA Foreign Medical Program?

Maybe I mean the US Embassy there......

On his site he said he only does skin diseases in certain cases. In my case, I already have everything needed, it just needs to be backed up (statement of concurrence) by a doctor that speaks VA English. Some journal references would be nice too.

DoS is basically useless when you're overseas, unless you're a business. The FMP program just does reimbursement, they don't know anything about doctors or hospitals here (I've tried, still not sure if they Lady I was talking to even knew where Korea was). Even if they could, it would still be a Korean doctor. Part of the problem is cultural, it's nearly impossible to get them to put anything in writing that they are not 100% confidant on. I had one doctor refuse to write it because, "It's only my opinion." It took me almost 6 months to get my allergist to write the statement that I have, and it's only half of what he's verbally told me. He also thinks it's likely that I was misdiagnosed by the Army docs, but it would be rude to put in writing that someone else likely made a mistake...

Email John Dorley at Minnysoda@comcast.net

He is Dr Bash assistant and can help.

Thanks, I sent him an email and he returned with a call within an hour! Very nice guy, and helpful. He gave me more information than the DAV (who has my POA right now) ever has...
