Note the reference to contacting the "Traveling Veteran Coordinator." Seamless Care for Traveling Veterans
VA wants to ensure your health care is coordinated and seamless, whether you are seen at your local VA health care facility or at an alternate VA health care facility as you travel or have a temporary change of address (for example, if you live in one state during the winter and another during summer). If you know you will be traveling, your experience can be enhanced if you contact your VA PACT or Specialty Care Provider(s) four to six weeks before traveling, or as soon as possible. If you see a VA provider while traveling, that care will be recorded in your electronic medical record for follow-up treatment options with your PACT. When you contact your PACT, be sure to have the following information available:

Travel destination(s) and temporary address(es)
A valid telephone number
Arrival and departure dates
Specific care concerns
For more information, contact your PACT or a Traveling Veteran Coordinator at your local VA facility.

Speak to your physician and Patient advocate. I have received large amount for travel, but it takes time to set up. The Opioids are the real challenge. You will have to be prepared to think out of the box to come up with a workaround. Thank you for your service.

I have spinal injuries, went through the VA pain clinic, worked for several months figuring out what works.

Then Damned if the local out patient clinic did not start changing things. Oh you might become addicted to codeine. Hell if I was going to become addicted it would have happened in the Army.

What makes the Dr. think he knows what will work better than I do?
