My husband was medically discharged 14 years ago and regularly visits the VA for medical care. He just recently received notice from our private insurance carrier that the VA made claims for payment on his visit to cover the disabilities that they promised to provide care for. Our private insurance provides care for our children, myself and my husbands illnesses not related to his disability. The VA should hold up their end of the bargain. They promised to provide care for his disabilities. No one notified us that our private insurance was going to be claimed. If we wanted our insurance to pay for it, we would just choose a much better physician and more timely appointment schedule , (Pay higher premiums) and avoid the VA altogether. The VA is just trying to get out of their responsibilities.
