ATTENTION ALL VETERANS

Are you a Veteran?  If so, Thank You for your service, first of all.  And secondly we have some exciting news to share with you.  Abbeville Family Healthcare is now a VA and TriWest approved off-site provider of Chiropractic Services for the VA.  That means that you no longer have to drive to Augusta, GA to get an adjustment!! You can now get your Chiropractic Care here at Abbeville Family Healthcare and it will be 100% covered by the VA with no out of pocket expense for you.

We have been working long and hard to get all of the pieces of this in place and working and, as you can imagine, there were many hoops to jump through… from the VA credentialing, to the connection to TriWest that handles the claims, to the clearing house that files the claims etc.! But we are happy to report that everything is in place now and we are ready to serve you.

To start the process just contact the VA call center (1-706-733-0188 extension 5815) and have them message your Primary Care Provider (PCP) and tell them that you would like to receive chiropractic care here at Abbeville Family Healthcare.  This will get the ball rolling.  They may want  you to come in for a visit with them prior to them making the referral and you may have to have some X-rays or other tests done as well.

You know the VA… these things take a little time, but some folks get through the process in as little as a couple of weeks.  The sooner you start, the sooner you can get started with us.  And we look forward to working with you!  We have been seeing Veterans under this program for a few months now and I can honestly say that it has been great.  We have gotten to meet some really great people that we would not have met otherwise.

So reach out to your PCP today and get the ball rolling! And we look forward to meeting you soon. And if you have any questions in the mean time feel free to call Heather at 366-7777 and she will be happy to help.

Some Frequently Asked Question:

1.  Cant I just use my Medicare/Insurance?

Answer: You sure can but if you go through the VA all of your services are covered 100% without any deductibles, co-pays, and all services are covered unlike Medicare which only covers the adjustment.

2.  Do I make an appointment directly with Abbeville Family Healthcare?

Answer:  Not initially.  You will first need to contact your PCP and get the Authorization to receive care here.  Once it is approved, we will receive a fax from the VA and we will contact you to set up your first appointment.  After that you will just contact us directly to make appointments.

3.  Is my Spouse covered under this plan?

Answer:  Not at this time.  Only the Veteran is covered under this plan.

**THANKS FOR STOPPING BY… WE HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON**
