Does anyone need help getting Their Choice bill paid?

Does anyone need help getting civilian medical bills paid that the VA should have paid.

VA is in arrears on Choice payments.  I am filing claim with the U S Federal Claims Court. If anyone else has been affected by this whether they had to pay the bill or any other adverse action including being billed directly for the care, please contact me at “lembray@gmail.com”.

I’ll pay the filing fee and include you the filing as a claimant. We’ll get it in form by emailing it back and forth. Courts require that any identifying things other than your name and address and the name and address of the provider be redacted.

What is happening is the House passed the budget including Choice and ED benefits but did not fund these items with “appropriations.” So the non payments by the VA is a coverup for the politicians and that tax bill that is putting our decedents in debt more than they can ever hope to catch up.

 

 

Anyone with a claim for Medical Care that the VA has attempted to avoid payment should contact me if they are service connected for the condition or have a combined rating of over 50%.

I’m filing the claim or claims under Section (4) of the 14th Amendment which guarantees debts authorized by law. My contention is that if I sent my brother to pay my mortgage and he stopped at a casino losing the payment I would still be obligated. I would also be obligated if my employer refused to pay my health insurance.  The VA cannot shift the guarantee of health care to anyone else through an unconstitutional contract such as trying to get us to file against their contractor.  If it is healthcare for which the VA is obligated to pay by law whether an appropriation has been made or not, just as our disability compensation is an entitlement that doesn’t fall under the “appropriation” jurisdiction of the House, so is our medical care if provided for by law.

Anyone with this problem, email me at “lembray@gmail.com” by the 5th of January. I’ll analyze your situation and include it if I can.

 

I'm not an attorney, so I can't represent you.  You can join me in Pro SE (as an individual without an attorney).  You'll have to sign all documents and if we lose and costs are awarded to the government (very low risk)  I'll take care of it because I have instigated these claims.  I just want to show I'm not an isolated incidence.

 

I filed a petition to the CAFC (Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit) but they returned it for filing at the U S Court for Federal Claims.  Documents attached except for my back up billings and claims to VARO.  I had to call the clerk to find out I didn't have an appeal yet because it hadn't gone through the Court of Federal Claims.  The other issues I was petitioning for review are in other courts so not ready for review until a decision by those courts is made.

 

I want to file by January 5th.  If you join after that date you'll either have to file in forma paupers or pay your own $400 filing fee which should be included in your claim.

The Choice program has been plagued with problems.

You might want to consider complaining to the White House Vets Hot Line:
