Before you go

  1. Call the number above and ask for the billing department, not the front desk.
  2. Say you have CHAMPVA and ask if they will bill it directly.
  3. Ask whether the doctor you are being sent to bills separately from the hospital.
  4. Take your CHAMPVA card and your other insurance card, if you have one.

After the appointment comes the bill

CHAMPVA pays most of it and you pay the rest, and the pieces arrive weeks apart from the clinic, the doctor and the lab. Orangita keeps every receipt, what was paid and what is still owed in one place your whole family can see. Free to start, and it works the same in Ridgecrest as anywhere else.
