Veterans Advisory Committee <br />Minutes February 25, 2020 <br />Page 13 <br />Chair Doolittle: Do they have to have all those identifications with them every time they <br />enter? Or is that a one time? <br />Wery: If you go to CBOC and you're registered with the VA they have everything there. <br />They scan your records and two weeks later you get it in the mail. It says everything on it <br />and that's all you need. <br />Lewis: But I know someone who used it and they said this is fake. <br />Wery: Well that's a different story. <br />Lewis: The other related piece, the transition from the Choice Program for remote island <br />like our has been a nightmare. The paperwork, you can not be assured. If you had support <br />under the Choice Program which I got through VA and now I'm trying to continue that <br />care, you have to make sure you cross your is and dotted your I's that it's moved over to <br />the Mission Act. That you've received a letter, that even if you have a letter in hand that <br />says the Choice program granted you privileges to a certain period if you don't have the <br />Mission Act engaged as well, you could wind up paying. <br />Nahakuelua: And, from what I understand you have to contact the provider and the <br />provider should know on how to switch an insurance coding number that they have to <br />switch around. Sounds like it's easy but the provider does it. <br />Lewis: Well yes, it is easy if the person on the other end when the provider calls, and they <br />know the right number and the right person. Then, if you have on going care you just <br />have to stay aware and make sure you're covered. If you've got a good place that you're <br />going to, they will check before you arrive, but not all places do. That was it. The only <br />other thing in the group here is Roxcie, thank you for being here, Brittany has been <br />helping us here and we did not meet... <br />Christine Carter: Christine. <br />Lewis: Christine, or we did meet and invited you to come maybe. <br />Iyo: I'll be leaving Parks at the end of this month and Christine will be taking over for <br />me. <br />Lewis: well that's an announcement. You have big shoes to fill. <br />Wery: Roxcie, they're all running away from you. <br />Director Waltjen: I know. <br />(Laughter) <br />
