1/5 Raymond S. 2 years ago on Google
I
just
got
back
from
a
few
weeks
of
travel
to
central
America
and
have
a
stomach
bug
and
wanted
to
get
taken
care
of
quickly.
I
have
full
coverage
medical
insurance
through
the
VA
so
I
called
them
to
find
the
closest
location
I'm
covered
at
and
they
sent
me
here
and
told
me
to
bring
my
passport
or
driver's
license.
They
also
sent
me
with
instructions
for
the
urgent
care
to
verify
eligibility
and
file
the
claim
easily.
I
showed
up
with
my
passport,
drivers
license,
social
security
card,
birth
certificate
and
told
them
the
VA
sent
me.
I
showed
them
the
instructions,
#1
is
call
the
VA
to
verify
my
social
and
date
of
birth,
and
they
said
"we
already
have
information
on
how
to
verify
you,
can
I
have
your
insurance
card?"
I
explained
no
the
VA
doesn't
have
an
"insurance
card"
-
it's
an
identification
card.
I'm
not
from
the
area,
just
got
back
from
traveling
(you
should
never
travel
abroad
with
military
related
identification)
but
the
VA
would
verify
if
they
called
and
I'd
be
happy
to
send
them
a
copy
when
I
get
home
in
a
week
if
they
still
needed
that.
A
VA
identity
card
just
verifies
social
and
date
of
birth,
and
I
had
those
official
documents
so
there
was
no
issue
verifying
me.
They
refused
to
see
me
without
an
"insurance
card"
which
doesn't
exist.
They
refused
to
call
the
VA
to
verify
me.
I
called
the
VA
to
ask
what
happened
and
was
told
"
they
should
have
just
called
us,
that's
how
this
program
works
and
you
had
more
than
enough
identification"
and
recommended
another
location.
***UPDATE
-
Later
that
night
I
ended
up
in
the
ER
with
ecoli,
norovirus,
and
giardia.
I
was
there
for
8
hours
and
was
given
2
bags
of
IV
fluid
and
antibiotics.
They
were
upset
that
this
location
would
not
see
me,
proper
medical
care
at
an
earlier
time
would
have
prevented
it
all.
