Primary care takes forever to get an appointment 2...

Primary care takes forever to get an appointment 2-3 months. No one ever returns phone calls. Getting scheduled with Veterans choice is supposed to be quicker but the paperwork takes forever.

I was in physical therapy but moved. Trying to get it set up where I live now but VA sends me to tri-west, tri-west says the authorization was already used so I have to get a new one, takes me a week to get a new one and then I call Tri-west back. They inform me it takes 2-4 days for them to receive the authorization from my primary care to even get the process started.

Cant get an orthopedic consult which I need until I do 8 weeks of physical therapy and that fails. Meanwhile I'm in pain and cant do anything.

The process for the VA is ridiculous. Make an appointment to make an appointment to get seen for what you need. There has to be a better way...
