Question for veterans who got implants through VA

Postby flyingduck2019 » Fri May 19, 2023 3:59 pm

Did any of you have issues getting the VA to give you your implant? My VA doctor sent a request to the URO department to give me one and they rejected it without any appointment or talking to me in any way.

I had no problem with the authorization. I had been taking oral medications for some time, so had a continuing history of ED.

I think we had a short discussion some time ago about this question before, you and I. Do you recall it? Or I may be confused. I get that sometimes.

My approval shot through Medicare without even a whisper. No demands, questions or copay. I did pay for 2 different antibiotics & some pain pills. Total cost was insignificant. If possible, you might consider Medicare.
I think that by using Medicare that a wider group of surgeons are available also.
