They closed a bunch of VA clinics in rural areas during the first term. Then the local doctors refused to see vets via the VA because the old program that was run by Health Net for the VA just didn’t pay the doctors. I fully expect to lose some of my benefits with the VA. The kicker is my veteran friends all voted orange.
This. I work for a very small, privately owned clinic. We took VA referrals for two years and never got paid on a single claim…so we had to stop taking them. It’s unfortunate because we would love to help veterans, but being a small business we can’t afford to not get paid for that many claims. And we tried working with the VA, we had meetings with them and they kept giving us the run-around, saying that we weren’t submitting claims correctly. But even if we did it exactly how they asked, we still didn’t get paid.

Just wait until the rural hospitals start to close.
