In my case if a procedure , test or seeing a specialist is longer than 30 days or how far you live from the VA facility, community care is offered.
You can see your own private doctor or provider that excepts optum ( VA health insurance) . The VA pays the bill . Not sure where the disconnect is but I would reach out to a patient advocate.
