Can someone tell me what form is needed to get community care at the mayo clinic? People in the VA don't seem to know and keep telling me I cannot be seen there if though I know I can. Can someone please assist me?

Regards,
Nikole

Hi @nikole7272, Welcome to Mayo Connect. I'm sure this is frustrating, when all you want is to feel better, and LIVE.
Mayo Clinic and the Mayo Clinic Health System sites do participate in the VA Community Care program. (https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-expands-commitment-to-serving-veterans-by-participating-in-va-community-care-network-beginning-august-1-2020/)
Has your VA contact pointed you to form 10-10172, or are they telling you that you wouldn't be eligible? What's their reasoning? (https://www.va.gov/find-forms/about-form-10-10172/)

There are many good cancer centers across the US. Have you been diagnosed with lung cancer? How are you feeling? Do you feel that your cancer could be related to your service?
