Medical Reimbursement Claim Stuff

[McRay]

I've posted here before about my med reimbursement being granted. The claim is for Emergency Room treatment and being sent by ER in ambulance to local hospital. VA paid the ER bills but the hospital was denied. I appealed the denial and the claim was granted by BVA. It's for a substantial amount (to me) of money. Appeal granted end of February. So, I keep checking the bank account, calling BVA, VHA, etc. and trying to find out what's happening.

On the 17th of May I get a deposit in my bank account described as Treasury ACH for $960.  Seems way off, so I call around trying to find out if it's my med reimbursement claim. No luck, BVA can't tell me anything and I go in telephone circles until finally I get someone at Veteran's Affairs (877-222-8387) who can tell me what it's for. Turns out someone did an audit and the VA didn't pay my co-pays from 2015 to 2017.  I was granted SC in 2015. I had submitted the paperwork to Bay Pines, but they told me I only had 30 days to file. One of the VBA agents I talked to said there is a 2 year window in which to file.

Bay Pines got me again
