I am a XXXX veteran. After XXXX XXXX destroyed the VA hospital, we were advised to seek emergency treatment at the nearest facility and we will be reimbursed. In XXXX XX/XX/2011, I used XXXX Ambulance service to rush me to the nearest hospital, and my family and I advised them that VA was my only insurance. They failed to submit a claim to VA and put me in collections. during the 2 year period they had to submit a claim, they nor their collection agency never called me. I assume is because they can get away with billing me over {$XXXX}. But, they could only bill VA a minimal amount. I recently requested that they submit the request for payment with the VA, the XXXX Representative declined to respond. I believe this is a deceptive practice aimed at getting more money from the patient, then the government.
