Hello everyone,
I have finally gone to the VA for help. I have private insurance (which is astronomical in cost) but my copays and prescriptions are absolutely killing me financially. I now have an intake appointment at the Primary Care clinic. It is my understanding that I will have to pay $7 per prescription if the condition being treated is not service related. (I am in the process of appealing a denial of service connection for IC in relation to my chronic kidney stones, but that is a long story for another day and another thread). This will help me immensely on the financial front. I have not gone to the VA because I was led to believe that they would not see you for any condition that was not service related. So now that is cleared up, maybe some light at the end of the tunnel for my checkbook. This will also be a God send if and when I go off work on disability. Hope this finds everyone relatively well.
