Find answers to your legal question.





If a member of the military is injured on active duty, can he choose his own doctor for care?

If a someone in the military is dismissed from active duty due to an injury while on active duty, how does the healing process work? Does he need to use doctors provided/recommended by the military, or can he go where he chooses?
Additional Details
A friend and I are having a debate over this... please provide a website with more information if you can.

no. he will be sent to the base clinic/hospital. he may not seek outside care on his own without a referral form the doctor assigned to his care.

if he chooses to do so anyway.. not only will they NOT pay for it he can lose his continuing care from the VA

He does not choose his doctor.

The VA will make a referral.

If he doesn't go to a VA doctor, he will pay for it.

The healing process depends on the injury/illness.

He would not be Dismissed from the Service...
He would be Medically Discharged from the Service...
He then would sign up at the VA Hospital
and file a Compensation Claim...

He would be treated by VA Doctors...
If he goes to any other Doctor
he will pay out of his own pocket...

End Of Story...
