Thanks for the responses.

I have been quite satisfied with the quality VA services, but I was simply wondering why a bill resulted when we can (with Medicare + TFL) go nearly anywhere(else) and have the services covered at no personal cost. Silly me ... I 'thought using VA might actually save the gov't some money. Silly, I know....

As for VA's means-testing ... In about 2002 I learned that VA was about to initiate means-testing, so I enrolled online beforehand, and got in under the "old" rules.

I will probably just continue to use VA mostly for hearing aids (they've provided top of the line devices so far), and go to other non-VA provider's for other stuff.

Thanks again.

Best,
Casey
