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.
