Vets Need VA Assent For Care The Veterans Administration Monday reminded service-connec ted disabled veterans seeking home-town medical care that they must first obtain approval from the nearest VA regional office if they expect the Administration to finance such treatment. An increasing number of claims for reimbursement have come to the VA board of appeals from vet erans who failed to obtain VA ap proval before going to home-town physicians for treatment. MANY CLAIMS DISALLOWED The claims have been disallowed except in those cases where it was found that emergency treatment for a service-connected disability was necessary. Even in emergency cases, the VA emphasized, it is necessary to receive regional office approval. However, some leeway is allowed for requesting approval in such cases. Veterans hospialized for emer gency treatment with a service connected disability are required to request approval within 72 hours after hospitalization. OUT-PATIENT TREATMENT Those given treatment on an out-patient basis must have their request in writing at the regional office within 15 days after treat ment is begun. Approval cannot be given on either emergency or non-emergen cy request for home-town medical treatmen if a VA hospital or out patient clinic is “feasibly avail able,” the Administration said. Non-service-connected' cases are not eligible for home-town medical care under the law.

The story will have more point if, first, we state three facts: • Every 3 minutes an American dies of cancer. • 25% of those tcho die could have been saved. • Many cancers can be cured — if de~ tected in time. Now here is the story. A door can be built to repel this deadly killer, but the door locks only if two keys are turned. Science holds one key. Your money can provide the other. \ our dollars support cancer research which some day may find the causes and cure of the dis ease. ^ our money supports an education program that teaches men and women how to recognize cancer in its early stages, when immediate treat ment can save their lives. U on t you help us lock the door? Give an gener ously as you can. Give more than before. Give to guard those you lore. AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, INC.t %■
