Getting VA Approval For Mayo Is A Nightmare

eddiereen, Way back before I was 65 I was going to VA for medical care. When I turned 65 I noticed when I went to VA they charged Medicare for the charges.

With that I moved to Medicare so not to take a slot for a veteran that did not have Medicare. I have both A and B and go to Mayo Jacksonville. I can go to any doctor or provider that takes medicare versus VA centers and clinics.

I agree with maoconectuser1 with most preferring to use Medicare as opens up a lot of different providers and locations. VA health insurance is very different than TriCare (retired military). Tri Care would be a secondary payer and I think the poster was talking about VA health care for veterans.

thanks so much for your information - Eddie has been on VA for years now - Vietnam Vet...its only been an issue since we wish to get another opinion outside of Marshfield and the VA....we are thinking of doing Medicare with a supplement...just an added cost...as many others wish; to go back to several years ago when our monthly budget was far less...but healthcare is the number one in my mind need...without it you don't have much else...God Bless You.
