Yes I am a veteran in the VA system. I also have a medicare advantage plan just in case simething happens in the days my clinic is closed.
Because I am low income and on medicaid too, I have no payments. Either medicare or VA.
I also get travel pay for my VA appointments.
I have been in 4 different VA systems (3 different states) and have had good results with all of them.
Where I am now I use a clinic, not a VA hospital. Which is somewhat different, however if I need appointments at the hospital, where my clinic doesn't cover, they do provide transportation to the hospital.
Also there is the mission act to provide care outside the VA.
Telehealth nurses are available 24/7 with questions and concerns u might have.
