The VA is totally a joke. Chalmers changed my doctor whom on the first visit changed all my med. Now I think he has looked at my history and know my story. NO that was not the case . By Sunday due to the med changes my heart rate jumped to 180 bpm and I thought I was having a heart attack. Had my work call an ambulance and took me to the er. Theree doctor thought it best to keep me over night and the next day the cardiologist put me through a stess test. Since I didn't get prior authorization the denied my clam. If it wasn't for the doctor I wouldn't have been there anyway. So how do you get authorization for a heart attack really. The whole organization is a joke and I feel they are saying what he did is ok. It just not right. They say you have to let them know your at the hospital before a certain time. not true you have to get authorization first or they won't pay. Way to take care of the vets.
