Does anyone know how to help me get the Rocky Mountain Region's Oncology department in Aurora to send in the authorization paperwork to my Radiation Oncologist, Dr. Daniel Chin, in Thornton so that I may begin my Radiation Therapy asap? I had my breast cancer surgery on 29 July 2020. My breast surgeon put in the paperwork to the VA right after my surgery. The oncology department at RMR approved & authorized my using Community Care with Rocky Mountain Cancer Center for treatment on 18 Aug 2020, but they still have not sent the authorization paperwork to Dr. Chin's office for me to begin treatment. My breast surgeon said I should begin Radiation Therapy within one month of surgery. All necessary paperwork needs to be in Dr. Chin's office in order for me to begin Radiation Therapy. Cancer Treatment is time sensitive.

Call the patient advocate and ask that it be faxed over. If that doesn't work, contact the IG

I went to the Denver VA customer service website. It is exactly that, a customer service website. They will take down your complaint and route it to the department. Thanks

Col. Mikel B is from out that way and likely knows what buttons to push. COL Mikel J. Burroughs

The Oncology Department at the RMR Aurora campus must put together the paperwork to give to the Community Care side to send to Dr. Chin's office before I may get Radiation Therapy. Even though Community Care sent me the referral, it does me no good. Dr. Chin's office must get all the proper and necessary authorization paperwork.
I called this morning. Dr. Chin's office still does not have the paperwork for me yet.
