Question
hollywoodnc
I am at present, awaiting a decision for a proximately related S/C for a RT Hip.
I am being told by EVERY doctor, that I require a THR. The problem is, that I cannot afford to pay surgical fees, hospital & medication, co pays, etc..
I DO have Medicare....no Medicaid.
The questions:
Do Veterans with a 30% (LT Hip) and 20% (Lumbar), have to pay for non service connected (RT) hip surgery?
What is/are the fee(s) based on? Income? Total disability rating? Other?
I am also pending a TDIU.
A CUE claim retro 1976.
Recently, I was informed that I have a worn polyethylene hip socket cup, thereby requiring surgery for my Lt. S/C hip..AGAIN!
Boy...when it rains, it pours!
Life SUCKS...I'm falling apart!

Sounds like you need a Medicare Supplement but chose not to make the purchase. I carry both Medicare A&B, plus a supplement and a drug plan. I use the annual COLA's to pay for them, as it allows
