Episode notes

Most veterans do not need to immediately pay a nexus letter company.

In this episode, I break down who can write a nexus letter, how to approach your doctor, what to say if they’re hesitant, and where to look if every treating provider says no.

I also cover when paying for an independent medical opinion actually makes sense—and the red flags to watch for before handing over your money.
