Yet per day about one eighth of hospitalized veterans are 65 or older, and immediate admission isn’t guaranteed due to space. A priority list favors disabled wartime veterans and emergency cases, followed by peacetime veterans, with wartime veterans not service-connected or unable to pay waiting.
The notice explains that for hospital care you may be admitted by your doctor to the nearest VA facility and ambulance if needed. It warns that providing financial information may be required when seeking care you cannot pay elsewhere, and falsifying data could lead to a lawsuit. It promotes Ray Henry’s updated Social Security handbook and offers it for 35 cents.
