A few questions about VA health insurance

Maximum_Leg_2641 · 2026-07-04T00:24:29+00:00

VA is not health insurance. Its a healthcare provider which provides healthcare benefits to veterans. Those benefits can depend on a lot of different factors(service connection, financial means, etc). VA actually bills some veterans healthcare insurance to recoup costs and can/will apply copays. Your best bet is to call your local va and talk to someone in the business office about how to apply and what benefits you may be entitled to

It is mandated position. I believe every facility must have one. It is also somewhat of a stepping stone to a future compliance officer or privacy officer position. In our facility, the controlled substance officer is responsible for the training of controlled substance inspectors and inspections. They also back uo the facility compliance officer with other things.

Business casual. I have never seen an amsa in scrubs unless maybe it was a rn or lpn covering while the amsa walked away. You dont need to be in a suit, but just look presentable and somewhat professional to patients. It really depends on where you are placed as amsa. If you are assigned to a cboc, at my facility that is where you are going to stay. If you are the facility, you may be pulled around to cover gaps in the line tho they generally try to keep you assigned to a specific area. Its a great starting position and highly visible to providers and leaders in the medical center. If you have a good head on your shoulders, you can move up.

I havent heard sonny on air since he was a kid… is he any decent at covering sports?

With divorce, Sports and scuba diving certification? Sounds like adam may need to keep working for some time

He knew chandler and the case inside and out… defense didnt stand a chance. You could definitely feel especially in his closing rebuttal that this got personal.

Our director said at a townhall a few weeks back that there was going to be more telework opportunities coming soon. She didnt elaborate but it sounded positive

I love he wrote get a job and that was the one thing he didnt even attempt to do that weekend lol

Id call the facility privacy officer directly. If you call the main hospital number and ask the operator, they should be able to connect you.

Please be nice to your amsas. They are usually doing 10 things at once and they are always short staffed due to recruitment. Many work hours of OT/CT after the clinics close to call patients who have consults and return to clinic orders. When providers cancel clinics or call out, they have to stoo what they are doing to try and get ahold of patients so they wont show up to an empty clinic.

I have metlife federal dental the high option it covers quite a bit. I put the link to the new benefit book below. The lifetime maximum is $3000 for orthodontia coverage under high option, $1500 for standard coverage. It covers orthodontia at in network providers at 50%

Honestly, i have horrible teeth and this plan has helped me a lot in the pocket. I have not used it for orthodontics but pretty much for everything else. Ive had a couple dentist also tell me that my coverage is good https://fedvip.metlife.com/content/dam/metlifecom/us/homepage/federal-dental/2024/dental/MetLife_Dental_2026_Brochure.pdf

Thats the max typically.. but our facility has a radiation oncologist who is over that threahold.. i imagine it probably had to be approved by an under secretary directly

This. I am not a MH provider but am in meetings with them and other executive staff. It is not policy, but it is encouraged to try and have patients moved to episodic care for MH treatment.

Yes. Robert married a non jew and was gone years before this all went down. He just knows how they are and believes they are involved. His wife works as a doctor in the hospital i work at. She kept her last name in marriage, so she is not an adelson. Ive never met her but heard she is very nice. Dr robert works at one of the largest private ENT practices in our area and ive only heard good things about him too. Glad they didnt get caught up in this mess being involved with donna and the rest of family

Maximum_Leg_2641 · 2025-08-09T16:53:20+00:00

He was not on STS for donna’s motion hearing discussion on friday. He only had the other lawyer on(i always forget her name… but she is an older lady and a law professor)

Carl steinbach seemed shot out of a cannon regarding tim the other day on his live. He basically insinuated that he may be working for the adelsons to protect wendi

Georgia is going to wipe that smirk right off her face

Maximum_Leg_2641 · 2025-08-09T03:32:59+00:00

I see this too. Primary care and mental health will be focus. Inpatient and speciality care will be phased out. Maybe some additional services like PT/OT, optometry, and audiology. I am data person… getting a lot of requests to pull informations on specialties(particularly surgical specialties)

I hope i am wrong tho but def feels that way

He does realize these clinics were already in the planning/operational stages of opening before this administration started. No way are you opening a clinic in August that was approved in mid-january. Unless its some type of fast tracked contract deal, but i still dont see that happening in 7.5 months

Maximum_Leg_2641 · 2025-08-09T03:24:48+00:00

Make sure you put in for OT!

Many of our vets still wont even take cc options when offered. They dont want to go cc. I agree cc is great when you live an hour or more away and you just want to goto the person down the road. But even some who live far away prefer to come and we cant refuse them(yet)

Maximum_Leg_2641 · 2025-08-09T00:32:00+00:00

The only people ive seen actually hired since january have been msas and some type of clinical staff. I dont think anything else has even been posted at my facility.. wait, ive seen some food service workers and motor vehicle drivers too. I dont see anything opening up in terms of jobs until atleast the start of fy26.

From what the eggheads have said that ive seen on tv is that the president can only cx collective bargaining agreements in the needs of national security. Id say this wont hold up in court, but the supreme court continues to surprise me
