<b>Petitioning for Coverage of Disputed Treatments</b>
 
Army Hospitals

Army hospitals, and most military health care systems, usually have one MD assigned as a "primary care provider" for each patient. This is the person that needs to refer their patient to a specialist. If they do not cooperate, then go to the hospital administration.

If EVERYTHING fails contact the patient's congressman.

At present the military medical care is in a state of flux, particularly with regard to the retirees, who had been promised full medical care "just like on active duty", which may not be in the process of being delivered.
