Thanks for the tag @roch. @igm have you seen this information that allows Veterans to self schedule care with community providers? It might be worth a try.

@johnbishop Thank you. This is very helpful for future. It can be a frustrating waiting for scheduling between VA and community providers to connect. It took a month for one scan to schedule. It doesn't help in this problem because we can't override primary physician's refusal of request for pulmonology.
