CHAMPVA problems

Question:

My wife is covered by CHAMPVA. . The problem I have is Doctors who accept  Medicare and TRICARE will not accept CHAMPVA and very hard to have them contact CHAMPVA. Any Ideas? Thank You

I don't know what to tell you. My wife has CHAMPVA and has had only that coverage for years and she's never encountered any doctor who wouldn't accept the insurance. We've moved a couple of times and each time searching out new doctors, they welcomed CHAMPVA. The only advice I have is to make some more phone calls until you find the right doctor who will take the insurance.
