VA Health Care Enrollment

So I did when I retired a couple years ago. Sort of a pain in the rear.
IME won't hear a thing from them.
If you can see you're enrolled online just give your hospital appointment line a call and get an appointment.
Note-they won't do a fricking thing until they assign you a PCM and you have an appointment with them. Don't get used to your PCM-in less than three years, I've had three.

According to VA website, if you applied online you should have a response in a week. (Yea, I believe that)
If you don't hear anything, call 877-222-8387. (Stay on hold listening to 'All lines are busy right now...' for a week)
If you filled out the 10-10EZ at a VA facility, go back to the facility ask to speak to chief of dept if you get a run-around.
Customer service is not their strong point.

My local VA rep in my town was very instrumental in getting all my paperwork done and in. I got a confusing call from someone in PA asking questions and sicked them on my VA Rep. He took care of everything. After all the paperwork went through I needed to go ta VA doc for the final checkup. It was for hearing so I had to go to Boston VA for the hearing checkup. I was told that Bedford has a hearing clinic now too.

I finally got enrolled last fall. I'm one of the Camp Lejeune water contamination guys and have a pending disability claim. Since last October, I've been getting all sorts of primary, endocrine and GI care with no co-pays either. Anyone covered by the PACT Act from last summer seems to be fast-tracked IF you have some health problems attributable to your service. Now that I am in, they are bending over backwards to supply healthcare.
Did you do it online or via a mail in form? I do all my VA stuff including appointments online as I can see status and they don't get "lost".

Thanks for all the replies! I sent in the paperwork. I've got a Vet services guy (West Suburban) I will give a call to see what's up. I don't relish getting on line to the VA. Thanks again! It's been a few years (59) since my discharge so maybe they're waiting me out? ![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

Online is definitely quicker, at least in my experience.
They are waiting all of us outThanks for all the replies! I sent in the paperwork. I've got a Vet services guy (West Suburban) I will give a call to see what's up. I don't relish getting on line to the VA. Thanks again! It's been a few years (59) since my discharge so maybe they're waiting me out?
you don’t need any veteran services to get VA healthcare. If you have no service connection they bill you towards your income. I know you mailed it in but good luck with that. It sounds like you are in western MA kinda…plan a day and go into JP to do everything I said and you will be up and running the same day. Bring your dd214. Good luck

Agree. I went to West Roxbury. They want copy of DD214, proof of current insurance, and annual income number. If you're on SSI and Medicare you probably qualify. If you make $500K/yr trading bitcoins probably not. I would not mail anything to VA and expect results.They are waiting all of us out
