So I tore my knee up in the military about 20 years ago and about 2 years ago have been deemed 30%.

I've had two knee surgeries since then, but none in 15 years and with always having private healthcare I was a dummie and never bothered.

On Xmas eve my knee gave out and I ended up on the floor milliseconds. Since I now have a claim for my knee I figured it was time for the VA to check it out and applied for care.

I was very surprised at the care and how much better it was them my huge megacorp healthcare provider. I'm thinking about moving all my primary stuff over but I'm unsure how the billing works with non-military injury stuff. Does the VA bill your current health insurance for unrelated injuries etc?

I'm priority group 2 if that means something.

Well I'll be godammed. I'm actually getting money from the 3M Hearing Loss thing. Never in a million years thought it turn out like this. I expected a check for $2.03 when I started this process years ago.

I never thought that would ever come to fruition.

Has anyone been looking through Reddit? I have a claim in process and it “seems” there’s certainly some volatility going on in the past week.

Submitted my claim on the 31st and have a c&p exam next week. Any advice? Im dealing with MH stuff and I understand it's all rolled up together.

That's really fast. I'm also waiting for a C&P from a claim in December. Still stuck on "gathering information" Let us know how it goes.

Any way to add providers to your MyHealtheVet secure messaging system? Wanted to ask the group before I begin calling the VA or my local system, thanks.

I've just messaged "My Team" and it got sent to the right Doc. You can pick which specialty and mine was replied from my Doctor personally.
