I had to make six trips to the Gainesville VA in August for cataract surgery. They paid $47 for each trip from the south end of TV. They only make direct deposit into your checking account now, no more check in the mail. When you turn in your first request, include the second form with your account info.

Two years ago I had an emergency, I went to my doctor at the Mulberry VA and as soon as she saw me, she said go straight up to Gainesville. I'll call and let them know you're on the way. I drove myself and when I got to the ER, I waited from noon until 9:30 that night. It was right after the Thanksgiving 4 day weekend, they apologized because they said normally it's only about a 2 hour wait.
