spirit_grt Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 My VA PCP has requested home primary care for me. Those who decide have put in my file that they want a "comprehensive medical psychosocial assessment" first. Why would they even think they needed this? Anyone experience this before? Any info would be welcomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator pacmanx1 Posted October 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 15, 2022 Please review Comprehensive Psychological Assessment - LightHeart Psychological Associates (lightheartassociates.com) My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions. Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up. I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

MilvetHD Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Quote In short, these assessments are generally two prong. In my opinion, they hold equal value but they are done for safety and to assess your whole person. When conducted properly they assist care providers in gathering pertinent and comprehensive information to provide tailored care specific to your needs. In my opinion, this is nothing to be alarmed about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator broncovet Posted October 15, 2022 Moderator Share Posted October 15, 2022 Of course, we dont know. We can only guess why your doctor did ordered a test. Apparently he thinks its needed. I mostly dont waste time on "why" VA does anything, because its anybody's guess. I dont even know why "I do stuff" , let alone trying to figure out what a government agency with thousands of employees does stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit_grt Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 My doc didn't request the test. She requested home based primary care. The people/department that the request went to requested the test. Since I've been under mental health care with the VA for 10 years, I would think they could just ask my psy docs. Only reason I was asking why is because I suspect they are looking for a way to deny the home based care. Guess I will just wait and see. Thanks to all who responded.
