0 RUREADY Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 All I know is that the VA clinic I use routes secure messaging to the Dr's Nurse. How, I don't know.I'll usually get an answer from the nurse that it will be referred to the Dr.Any answer is usually from the nurse, but on rare occasion, from the Dr.Chuck75, I glad its not just me, I thought it was just me but it ant right.

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted September 29, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think the Dr's Nurse is part of your healthcare team so why worry? VA Doc's just don't have time to do the messages. so they ask there Nurse to!I had to have my pain med's refilled and my Dr Had my Nurse to secure message me to come in for a urine test so I could get my refills so I did and I got my pain meds....if you start raising hell they can sure make it hard on you so be careful about that.jmo ..........Buck I am not an Attorney or VSO, any advice I provide is not to be construed as legal advice, therefore not to be held out for liable BUCK!!!

The VA established the secure messaging system. It is a part of the team care concept now. It is answered by the same RN normally, I had my PCP answer before, but not often. It must be up to the PC
