Here is an odd question about the C-file.
Is EVERYTHING done by the VAMC supposed to end up in your C-file?
I do mean everything.
The reason I ask, is that in other posts here I have mentioned missing records from the VAMC New Orleans.
When I saw my new VA Primary Care Doc for the first time, she asked tons of questions, which was great.
In answer to one of them I mentioned that the VAMC New Orleans lost a bunch of my records and I was pissed about it.
She had her unit's Social Worker call me to offer assistance on the issue.
It turns out there is something called the Joint Legacy Viewer, which is an application that has insight into every medical record the VA has on you no matter what system it is in. Apparently there are several different systems your records could be in depending on location and year you were seen.
When I went yesterday for a follow up on my foot surgery, I went to the Social Workers office and in a couple minutes he pulled up a set of treatment notes about the VNG I had for my vertigo back in 2013 that VAMC New Orleans says is "lost".
Those notes are not in my c-file.
So I am curios if anyone knows if some files are not put in the c-file. These notes I found don't follow the typical format that VAMC uses and happens to list the Procedure Codes associated with each treatment or test done. For example for the Vertigo they list procedures 92540 through 92547 as being done and the results appended elsewhere.
i am going to make an appointment to spend a day searching those files, but I also want to get all of them so I need to figure out that path

There are a lot of guys that would never trust the VA to do anything proactive that would actually help Veterans. That said, if asked, I always say we should register, because facts are facts. Eventua
