Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted November 18, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 18, 2013 *lol* No worries, Berta, you are right so many other times that this is a blip. If it was VA prescribed, or a VA Fee Based procedure, it would be covered. 'Self medicating' or treatment outside VA care, though, most likely would not be. I think the rep is probably correct, but you might want to run it by someone from DAV, or Amer Legion or similar for the actual regs and citations. I don't have the site bookmarked at work.
