Re(1): Veteran refused care – because DVA is paying IP: 106.69.162.137 Posted on 13/3/2018 at 11:45:11 PM by Graeme Black
Col,
Sorry to hear about your hassle but I can believe it. Back in 2014 when I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and DVA agreed to cover all treatment, it came with a caveat. I had to find a surgeon that would accept DVAs low fees. When I was under the care of one of the best prostate cancer surgeons in the state, I wasn't about to try and find some surgeon that would accept their fees. Fortunately my surgeon was happy to take a pay cut and accepted me as a DVA patient. Replies:
