Undiagnosed brain lesion.

My husband is being treated by the VA. The first 2 MRIs showing the 8mm lesion on the right were never even disclosed to us. He was told in 2022 that the MRI simply showed mild sinusitis, and in 5/23 he was told the 2023 MRI simply showed no acute abnormality or reasoning of muscle atrophy. The recent MRA (that indicates something on the left) was done because a neuro e-consult recommended it based on a 4/2023 head CT that showed possible old infarction after he started having stroke like symptoms. And the radiologist who read the MRA recommended the CTA. His primary care has not seen him since 1/23 even though we have made multiple requests to be seen, they have had no urgency in these tests (note stroke symptoms started in March and the MRA was just done in June) and he has yet to be seen by a neurologist at all! I am trying to get anyone to help explain what is going on with him and what treatment is needed. And also if the abnormal tests done in 2022 and 2023 were acknowledged and looked into could his current condition have been prevented.

Does anyone know if Mayo will charge for a consultation or records review? Because he doesn’t have insurance other than the VA. And they haven’t sent him to one of their own neurologists so I know they won’t cover Mayo.
