Of course. At VA, we take a team approach to health care with you at the center. Research shows this kind of approach leads to better quality care, more satisfied patients, and fewer hospital visits.
Well, that's great and all, but who will provide care for me?
Have you signed up for VA health care and chosen your main VA location?
No, I havent. I was planning on doing that later.
What if I need other services to fulfill my needs?
In that case, your team may call other providers like social workers or specialists to help with your care.
And which specialists are part of my health care team?
A primary care provider, your main doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician s assistant and a clinical pharmacist, a pharmacist who works with you and your primary care provider to make sure you're taking the medicines that are right for you and your overall health.
What if I want to change to a different doctor?
