This war hero with a disability rating 100% should be getting
free care and prescriptions at the
VA or the VA sends the veteran to a private doctor under what the VA terms it Community Care . The VA pays the provider who accepts VA
insurance ( Tri Care ) for service related injuries .
I have VA healthcare not Tri Care , and make a little bit more money than most veterans and am charged co-pays . $9 or $15 dollars for prescriptions.
$15 for a primary care doctor . $50 for a specialty doctor . Although if you see more than one doctor in the same day the copay covers all VA doctor visits .
Alternatively since turning 65 my Medicare , Medicare part D and supplemental turn out to be less expensive than the VA . I have a $208 deductible for the whole year
I suggest calling or visiting the
the office of Patient Experience. They will make it happen, I guarantee.
Call Florida department of veteran affairs to get a briefing on his benefits.
If the veteran is low income he can apply for a VA pension.
His Primary care VA doctor is the
gatekeeper for prescriptions and specialty doctors .
If the VA sent him to a private doctor they would be paying his bill . Tri Care is a wonderful thing for our war hero’s . Thank him for his
service.
