US Family Health Care as a health acre provider?

2014-08-21T10:00:14-04:00

FYI for people in Massachusetts (veterans/active duty/retired) that need health care. The premium is 115$ a quarter, for a family. Yup, that's 39$ bucks a month.

Had Blue Cross/Blue Shield federal and the coverage and services are on par, if not better, than what BC/BS covered.

Also, for those of you that hate to deal with the BS of the VA, this is a very affordable second opinion. For example, needed an MRI from the VA, 3 1/2 month wait at JP. Went to my civilian doctor and had it done the next day. Same with urgent care visit. told to go to West Roxbury for emergency care, told them to go kiss themselves (VA) and drove 2 min to Caritas were I received far better care than I would have received from the VA.

Only reason I am posting this, is because a couple of the VA group (adaptive sports/kayaking) program I am in. I have talked to a handful of vets you did not know about this insurance and that it was available to them. It seems is not advertised that well to qualifying people. Only downside of this insurance is it odd coverage area. The six

I am in no way affiliated or have stock in this company.

Oh and just watch the VA in regards to billing your insurance. They billed BC/BS for ten's of thousands of dollars for service connected injuries while I went through surgery and physical therapy when I returned from Iraq, something they are not suppose to do but they do it anyway.
