If you are a veteran do you HAVE to go to a veterans hospital for non-emergency care?

I am a veteran that uses the VA regularly.\n\nFor non-emergency problems you must go to a VA Hospital or VA Clinic. Since  it is not life threatening they will either make you an appointment or have you wait until a doctor can see you between appointment.\n\nFor emergency medical reasons (life threatening) like a heart attack etc. you are to go to the nearest Emergency Medical facility (Hospital), civilian or Military. The VA will pay for this care. There is a string attached though.\n\nThe string is: If you have not seen your assigned VA doctor in 2 yrs or more the VA will not pay.

If you are a veteran you can go to the S.E. Michigan Veteran's Center on Monroe St. or the Veterans office at 29 Washington St. (3rd floor) and see if you are available for assistance.

You do, providing that you partcipated in the Montgomery or GI Bll.\nIf not, you may be able to apply with the VA under the VR&E\nVeteran's Rehabilitation & Education program.\nFirst you need to contact a local Veteran's Service Officer, there is usually one in you community to assist you.\nIf you belong to a veteran's organization like American Legion, VFW... They usually have someone who takes care of this.\n\nAlso, you can search the VA's website, their link is http://www.va.gov\n\nGood Luck

Many hospitals offer free care if you qualify. Your local hospital social services department may have an application for this. The social services department may also be able to tell you where there is a free clinic in your area. Give them a call and see what options they have to help you. If you live in a small town call a hospital in the nearest large city to you. If they don't have a program to help you, you can always go to the emergency room. You should not let these medical problems go untreated.

Contact your VA office in the area. If the person is a Veteran and need of health care it is a possiblity that he can recieve it that being he can not afford it or whatever the case may be.

If you are in need, go to a university hospital, I have done it many times, if you need an x-ray they will take them, worse case you will have to fill out indigent paperwork if you have no money!

I work for the VA in Pennsylvania, and I am a vet also, so I can sympathize. From experience I can tell you the 2 best things to do would be contact the Directors office at the hospital. And the other is to complain to your local senators, or congressman. Locally we have one on the board that oversees the board. Look for one close to you, and B*TCH! The VA is very political and no one likes waves. Should help.
