Please go after what you're entitled to. I spent nearly a decade getting shortchanged by the system and never once did I begrudge someone else getting their ratings. It's just like back in the service, the only people who want you to not use your benefits are the bean counters.
I am not a veteran but I learned this yesterday when I tried to get a new sling for my broken (but mostly healed) right humerus and found out insurance only pays for a new one every two years and out of pocket a new one at the hospital is $70 whereas a new one from a medical supply store is $20-$25 and what a surprise! The medical supply store doesn’t bill insurance. Fuck this country
Know of any good medical supply stores i can go to?
One brick and mortar chain I found near me is Binson’s but like the other poster mentioned you might get a better deal on Amazon or online elsewhere too
You can buy a sling from Amazon pretty cheaply. Walmart also carries basic slings for around $20
