Form letters policy for elective surgery explained As 1 was Reading a recent answer to a letter a ques Tion of my own came to mind. On january 5,1 had a Vasectomy. I had it done by my civilian doctor while i was Home on leave More than 200 Miles from the nearest military medical facility on the advice of a military doctor Here on base. At that time i filed a champs claim. After re turning to the base i received a letter from Cham pus tiling me to file the claim at my base. After i filled out All of the proper paperwork and had it signed by the proper officials it was sent Back to me. No official reason Given the package was just returned. I am currently making payments to the civilian Doc Tor total of 1327.10. In submitting the claim i computed it would Cost the air Force More than $650 this is per diem travel pay and the Cost of lost work Days to Send me to Wiesbaden for the same surgery even this Large savings had no effect on the claim. My question is if As the above mentioned answer said Active duty medical care is free Why am i paying for All or for that Mailer aay of this no mention was Ever made by anyone about elec Tive surgery. Not by my military doctor who advised me to get it done while on leave or the respondents to the letter mentioned above. This does t seem like free medical care to me.
