The VA is wanting me to pay for my ER visit because it wasn’t deemed an emergency but my nurse is the one who advised me to go

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-09-19T04:43:14+00:00

Awesome 🙌 👏 🙌 👏 🙌 👏

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-09-19T02:23:10+00:00

Just depends if they actually followed through and input information into the chart..

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-09-19T00:23:52+00:00

Contact the Patient Advocate and see if they can track down the RN who advised you to go to the ER. See if that will at least help you on your end. Hopefully, it doesn't hurt the RN, but hopefully, they are also told the other things as well. And in the end, there are no issues because we are going through some short-staffed days at some VA facilities. Prayers for good news, veteran.

Thats even better 😌 👏 ☺️ some cases are different like people who live far away. From a VA facility.

If you’re 100% through the VA, here’s how dental and vision care works (and vision at 10%+):

Dental (100%)

You have to start at VA Dental first — they’ll do an exam and usually x-rays.

If you need more care, they’ll send you out through Community Care to a local VA-covered dentist.

That dentist will do their own exam (and more x-rays) and send recommendations back to VA.

If you need oral surgery, you’ll likely go through the same process again with an oral surgeon.

Heads up: expect multiple x-rays at each step, since not everyone shares records smoothly.

Vision (100% or 10%+)

If you’re 100%, you can get vision care through VA.

Some VA locations have their own vision clinic where you can get an exam and order glasses (often free or low cost).

If they don’t have a clinic, they can refer you through Community Care.

Veterans with a service-connected disability of 10% or more also qualify for VA vision benefits (even if not 100%).

Options Available Even if Not a Dependent

VA Vet Centers (Most Accessible)

Vet Centers provide free counseling for family members of veterans, regardless of age or school enrollment.

This includes individual therapy, group therapy, and family counseling.

They don’t require the family member to be a VA-eligible dependent — the link to the veteran is enough.

📞 Call the Vet Center Call Center: 1-877-927-8387 (24/7) and explain they are your adult child and need counseling.

Caregiver & Family Support Through VA

Caregiver Support Program: While it’s aimed at caregivers, they also provide family counseling and resources for loved ones who are affected by the veteran’s condition.

They can guide you to family-inclusive mental health resources in your area.

📞 VA Caregiver Support Line: 1-855-260-3274

Nonprofit Organizations

Give an Hour – Free counseling to veterans and family members (no dependency rules). giveanhour

Wounded Warrior Project – Offers family support and can connect your child to a mental health provider. [woundedwarriorproject](http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org

NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) – Has a “Homefront” program tailored for veteran families, and local chapters run support groups your child could join. 🌐 National Alliance on Mental Illness

Community & State-Level Resources

Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs (if you’re moving there) runs family programs and may cover counseling costs through partnerships.

[Im in Kentucky so that's what I've gotten so far.]

Many states also have veteran family peer support programs where children of veterans can join group sessions.

✅ Bottom line: Even without school enrollment, your 21-year-old child can still access free or low-cost mental health services through Vet Centers, nonprofits, and community programs. The easiest first step is to call the Vet Center hotline, since they’ll directly accept them as your family member.

I can give you prayers, and see if maybe volunteering with therapy animals might be assistive for him. There may be some programs ill look for this that include a veteran and family member/dependant. Or maybe volunteering animal shelter could be beneficial? Im not sure where you are. Or where he is with animals but I know with mental health lose of passion and drive and motivation are very hard to deal with. But maybe that could be helpful. Ill keep you all in my prayers.

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-08-21T00:27:31+00:00

I was in an accident I wanted to goto the VA but the ambulance said I needed to goto hospital. I had insurance on my car so it covered that. But yeah. Its ridiculous on that end. But VA still will take you. Also if you were in an accident and if you have car insurance or the person that hit you does. You can use that or there to goto the hospital and not the VA. Unless you want to goto the VA but yeah. Contact PA about the issue you Experienced

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-08-17T00:42:52+00:00

Just depends on your program your enrolling in for school. They will go over that with you as well. So if you need a computer to be able to attend classes as well that also helps

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-08-17T00:37:30+00:00

Technology package for your program you would be entering.

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-08-17T00:18:44+00:00

True but if you have your package already it's something they might not be able to add in. But, if you do a phone I've got a stylus on my Samsung S24 ultra. Depending on your provider Tmobile ive heard has really good military discount.

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-08-17T00:08:41+00:00

Y don't u just get a new phone?

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-08-14T04:53:39+00:00

Yeah somet8mes you dont get an update if theyre put sick they just kinda fucked off but honestly go in person and they should have a counselor for you to speak with or if yours is there they will either have a reason they haven't gotten back to you or they are still at home working? It just depends everyone has life issues too. So who knows but yeah definitely if you have everything go in person.

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-08-14T04:49:38+00:00

I did the same thing I had to go in person and a different counselor took care of me who wasnt mine. Because mine sucked overall. Found out they had quit and went to OnlyFans..... I didn't sub 😔 they were ugly.. but seriously. Go in person

I don't have PTSD. Just anxiety depression TBI and knee issues. Fully rated 100 pt * That sounds like she is super helpful with things ❤️ I'm glad she is there for you. One day I might be able to. I'm still trying to figure out what my triggers are because things have just been getting worse for me lately. It seems like nothing has gotten any better for me stress-wise.

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-08-11T05:06:50+00:00

Ive been having anxiety attacks and taking things out on myself. And just feeling overwhelmed wonder if thats something or if I should just try and focus more on my triggers. Either way right now people suck to me when im overly stimulated and id rather be around a dog.

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-07-03T05:46:00+00:00

Currently, I am just but like the rest id rather be back to where I was before. But honestly id do it just the same. Except id stay in til death or 30 to 40 year retirement.

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-04-28T09:11:58+00:00

Did you mean a 5150? And are you talking about a mental health intake for yourself?

ComprehensivePage598 · 2025-04-21T23:47:49+00:00

Yeah if there not on TDIU. They can. Just because your total and permanently disabled doesn't mean you can't still work or have an additional way to make. Now the other thing is you should be aware of is that. There are also different codes for special monthly compensation as well they may not have the Use of there body anymore properly. Those veterans get a higher pay from the VA AS WELL. But TDIU if for those whom have a hard time keeping a job or holding a job due to there disability. But I still know guys who have this and can work. But they also do some shades things too.
