Just because your private insurance will not cover (or completely cover) your A) Hernia operation B) your Sleep study for Apnea. C) your other medical needs, doesn't mean that the VA wont.
It is possible for people to forget about having VA coverage for such things (I know I did ), and miss important opportunities to save money or get needed care due to financial concerns. :sad:
I've since requested that the Student Heath and Counseling Center add two questions to their referral sheets.
Are you a veteran?
Have you contacted the VA?
I just got told that I'm qualified for a sleep study. Problem is, the first appointment is Sept 3 (I may be in China on August 26 (or sooner)). I could have had this done years ago when I needed it. Don't worry, I got myself on a please-call-me-if-someone-cancels list, and LUCKY for me... Someone did (today). Time between original call from VA to schedule the appointment, and the call asking me to come in tonight? 3 hours. :grin:
All The Best!
