Poppy,
Thank you for hitting the nail on the head. There have been mixed reviews regarding the care and environment of VA hospitals.
There are VA hospitals available in many areas across the United States and other countries. In our area Panama City Naval, Eglin AFB, and the big one Biloxi for major surgeries.
They are far more advanced with computer information updating medical history for each patient in "all" VA hospitals.
You are eligible for VA benifits if you have served in all branches of service during war time or combat for at least 18 months.
Yes you do fill out a means test (income sheet) but if you make less than 28,429 w/ no dependents and have 0 assets you do not pay anything. If you are over that amount you have a copay of $15 visit.
$50 for any MRI, CAT, Radiology etc., $1,024 for any surgery on a 365 day period.
I'm tired of hearing negitive gossip of the VA, if you are FORTUNATE to be in the system as a Veteran your are automatically contacted reminding you of your yearly checkups.
VA information for those who meet the requirments as follows:
Panama City Branch
1-888-231-5047 toll free
850-636-7000
Have your DD form 214 on hand.
Best Wishes!
