@StevenMIA Great post. Well done. We are working with the American Expeditionary Legion . They do have very good health care plans for members in the Dominican Rep.

What you are doing is important but you need to put this in the classified section please.

@planner I think you have done a very good job moderating such a group of people with so many personalities and motives. All in all it’s been a very good source of information and the good far outweighs any negatives. On this topic I feel you have definitely got it wrong. No one is trying to make any money but only sharing information that is valuable to a qualifying American Veteran living or visiting the country. I appreciate if you will let the thread continue so that many like myself will be more equipped if we need medical services.

@Michael Shirley How many veteran expats do you think will look in the classified ads for help relating healthcare info. I have also used iwellness in Santiago.....excellent service, advise and assistance with my claim resulting in an increase in my benefit.

@drilsgt I don’t think any will look in the classifieds looking for medical care for those who have benefits from the VA. This is why I ask Planner to let those that can share information about healthcare for us to freely post information on this thread

It's not about money at all.  I don't make the rules.  The classifieds do not cost money!  Once you do that you can say, check the classifieds for contact info.  Simple.

@Planner:  Like others, I misunderstood your intentions.  I think you are simply telling them to add it to the classified section as well so that people can be directed there easily.  Not that anything wrong has been done.  If I understand you now...

I am not a Vet nor American but this information does seem important to those that are.

Cheers.

CORRECT,  please  add to the classifieds.  We have a rule of not posting private website links.   It does not matter what it is for. If we do not moderate this I then get all kinds of -  but  Fulano did it, why can't I. So I have to follow the rules.

What you are doing is awesome!   Just place the classifieds and you can post that link any time you need to!  Thanks!

**** Funny story about Fulano...... I did not not know what or who that was for  6 months when I first moved here.....  I thought Fulano was really really a busy guy!

@planner  ' Fulano de estar    ' popular Dominican phrase! LOL

I know!  😜😜😜 But when I didn't know it was sure funny!!!!

@planner thank you for clarifying. Kudos to the website and the way it is run!

Thanks for the perspective on Veteran's Clinics.  There are all types.

The warning is appropriate.  If a Veteran innocently uses a clinic that charges the VA for numerous unnecessary medical exams, tests, treatments, prescriptions, etc., they can absolutely LOSE their VA medical treatment benefits.

• Essentially, such a scam Constitutes FRAUD at least on such a clinic's part, and even if the Veteran is unaware of the fraudulent activities, they can be swept up into investigations that last years.
• Appeals may eventually return the benefits, but that really isn't a ride you want to embark upon.
• In a worst case, you could face jail time!  YES, that is possible...and the clinic operators would be quite willing to unjustly place blame on the Veterans, if it gets them lighter sentences.

Be VERY careful regarding who you're utilizing to obtain VA medical benefits.  Do your due diligence BEFORE you engage them.
