V.A. HEALTH CARE

The V.A.’s health care system is available to many, but not all, active duty veterans.   You must go to their clinics or medical centers to have access to any of their services, including prescription coverage.

Veterans who receive disability payments from the V.A, low-income veterans and veterans who received the Purple Heart are eligible for FREE inpatient and outpatient services.

Veterans who do no receive disability payments, and are above specified income/assets levels, must make co-payments for their health care services.

There is no charge for preventive screenings and immunizations.

Most veterans make small drug co-payments.

Dental care is not provided to most veterans.

There is typically a backlog for new patients enrolling with the V.A. health care system.   Veterans of current conflicts, and those receiving VA compensation receive priority as new patients.
