We stopped going to a civilian ALS Clinic and go to the VA ALS Clinic exclusively now. All the providers were professional and kind. We found we could get everything we needed almost immediately without any paperwork hassles. The ALS Clinic Coordinator and neurologist know what to do with the paperwork and increases have occurred twice with the money arriving before we even knew the paperwork had been submitted! The first time I called our PVA rep to find out why there was more money!
We have also been able to receive all needed medical equipment, supplies, formula, medicines etc. with no hassles or $$. They are prescribed/ordered and are delivered by UPS or Fed Ex. I can go online and ask for refills when we need more.
When my PALS had some new issues pop up the respiratory therapist saw us within a couple of days and the neurologist stopped in to consult while we were there. The Clinic Coordinator has been able to trouble shoot any problems with refill delays for us.
I can't say enough about how well my PALS has been treated by the VA and how my administrative/caregiver path has been eased by the way they have handled everything.
Now the SAH grant/construction was a whole other issue!!
