Non VA emergency room care

[Grunt 8152]

I'm not currently in the hospital. I was actually admitted in veterans day go figure and released 2 days later.

So what I ended up doing was messaging my VA primary care Dr to let them know what was going on and they said I had to let veteran service center know.

I called a national number who put me through to another number who put me through to another number who finally transferred me to my regular clinic VSC. I told them what was going on and asked if I would have to be transferred and he said no. He told me to get taken care of and if they want to make follow up appointments just make it and get permission after since it would be fastest that way. He also told me right there on phone I wouldn't have to pay anything for it which was a huge relief at the time.

 

VA has also pre-approved me for two surgeons to remove gallbladder and part of my colon as well as the hospital stay. 

 

Also just got letter yesterday from VA board of appeals on some disability claims I filed March 2015 and I was granted tinnitus and tenosynovitis right forearm!
