“Using his tricare prime, he went to a regular doctor on Monday, who sent him to a specialist today (Wednesday), who confirmed he needs to have the stones broken up before they can pass, and made an appointment for him tomorrow to have the procedure done.”
I can see you have never experienced kidney stones. Option one is always better. Option two is a last resort. Opinions differ. Yet I myself would clearly wait it out.
And there’s about a 50% the doctor ordered breaking up the stones for… …you guessed it. More money!
And really? You’re friend is covered by the VA and Tri-Care.
And here all this time I thought the VA qualified it’s recipients quite differently. In other words if you can afford Tri Care, are on Tri Care, and it ain’t service related, the VA doesn’t accept you.
I’m no expert and I don’t know for sure. But I suspect you are a liar.
