Interesting! Like I said, I've never gotten a thing from the Tacoma, WA VMAC or the CBOC South of there I went to in VISN 22 or the Phoenix, AZ VAMC or the CBOC I go to West of there in VISN 20. But then, both of those VISN's have had well documented issues since about 2012.Really? I've NEVER gotten that from any of the CBOC's or VAMC's in the two VISN's I've been enrolled/registered. Now that My Healthy Vet has been working decently for the last 3-4 years, more or less, I've been able to read the notations and findings online, but I've never gotten a letter re: health status.Quick question for everyone on this thread...................have any of you had physicals where your doctor described your health in the same terms that Trumps did?
I get a letter from the VA every six months after my physical that is very similar. The major difference is the analysis of my blood tests.
I have been getting a letter detailing my health status from my Doctor at the VA Clinic where I go since 2004. I did have to use My Healthy Vet to get the results the few times that I went to the VA Hospital. She actually sends it snail mail instead of email.
I only use the VA for prescriptions to save the ~$1000-1200 Medicare quarterly copays. All my medical care is private and I'll never let them treat me for anything ever again after what I've been through with those careless and unqualified butchers!
Thanks for being civil. Many on USMB are not. I go to the VA clinic for several reasons. One is to get prescriptions for $9, but I only take two prescriptions so it is hard to justify the 20 mile round trip. Like you, I primarily use private medical care, but it never hurts to get a second opinion. The Doctor at the VA Clinic is outstanding, as is my private Doctor and they actually accept each others findings and blood work so I don't have to get it done twice.
I did go to the VA Hospital before they opened the Clinics, and went their to get some hearing aids, but I would go to a private hospital if I needed surgery for anything.
Is their official correspondence written on an official VA letterhead or is it just typed in like Trumps?
