Traveled FT for 7 yrs.
Primary VA Care was VA Medical Hospital in Sioux Falls SD...........GREAT Service/Care and Doctor/Staff.
Can't say enough good about them
As we traveled I used VA in:
Bay Pines FL
Gainesville FL
Dublin GA
Alamogordo NM
Loma Linda CA
Sacramento CA
Rapid City SD
Only had 'slight' difficulty with the CBOC in Rapid City and the Hospital in Bay Pines FL ---but being stubborn I prevailed.
All other facilities were top notch.
Mathers in Sacramento was beyond top notch.....EXCELLENT
Now that we are back in a S&B I have VA thru CBOC in Cottonwood AZ
Worthless -----rude and in over their abilities receptionist, can't keep 2 doctors ---one position always empty so those of us 'assigned' to that Doctor can't get appointments (haven't been SEEN in almost 2 yrs ---but Rx keeps getting refilled)
Phone calls/Secure Messaging to 'Patient Advocate' useless.
Was sent a 'Med Card' for outside care---called number and was told that I wasn't eligible. Called VA and was told I was 'eligible' but hadn't been 'authorized'/ when is that going to take place? --- when I need it -----how about NOW? No need ---filled empty Doctor position at CBOC.
Called for appointment------which was cancelled before appointment date cause Doctor left! That was Jan 2015
Still nothing except call from outside care facility reminding me I wasn't eligible yet.
As long as Rx keeps getting refilled OK and will just show up at ER if needed.
