Jim Stevens
I think an enrolled veteran with any emergency as determined by an MD or EMT should be transported to the nearest emergency room and paid by VA. Other insurance coverage can be handled through coordination of benefits.
Ted Dubrawsky
I agree with Jim Stevens. I had an emergency several years ago and the VA hospital in San Antonio had no available beds. I was admitted to a local hospital instead and had to pay the associated medical bills out of pocket. Will this bill be retroactive?
