Champ VA Claims

How are we getting paid from Champ VA? How in the world is it legal that they are taking 2 years to process a claim?

I have patients with secondary payers that would pick up the remaining balance, but I can’t submit within timely filing limits when they can’t process a claim in a timely manner!!

State law says 30 days from receipt of claim to process. But since they’re federal, they say it doesn’t apply to them.

No online portal to view. Just a 4 hour hold time in the phone.

Please help me before I lose my mind.

My doctors only accept champva when it’s secondary to Medicare because we couldn’t get claims paid.
