Dear List,
I'm confused by some of the information Ive received in being able to treat a Veteran. The patient has been followed by myself through the hospital and now the patient is ready to be treated for a temporary prosthesis. The patient has only VA benefits, do I have the ability to treat this patient if I do not attend a VA clinic? I was under the impression if; the patient had only VA benefits, they would be treated through the VA.
Ive had conflicting opinions and would like to know if someone on the list can set the record straight for me.
Thank You in Advance,
