[QUOTE="Yeti695, post: 3300372, member: 43286"] I don't, but I will tell you that dealing with the VA for my father can be a nightmare. First off, my father, is a 100% disable veteran, and is having some major issues right now. He's in a nursing home for rehab right now, note sure he will get out. Back to the topic, we had to meet with a VA rep in the town he lives and they told us that Muskogee (where his main doctor is out of) is one of the worst VA places to be housed out of. He told us that if we could use Wichita we would better off, this is not an option for us. With that being said if you use them when or if you have to get to a doctor or emergency room, even if you have any other medical coverage ( Medicare or just another insurance) do not give them any other insurance information especially of you are 100% disabled. This was told to us by the VA rep. He said that as soon as another insurance or government agency pays anything on any medical procedures or visits, this null and void the VA from having to pay anything. So just be careful when using them and make sure to only any places you have VA. Trust me this would have saved my parents a lot of trouble and money. Hope this helps. Also, my father in law uses the DAV local chapter and they help him get and file the forms to get you anything you might need to navigate the VA health system. Hope this helps.
