Co-payments
The US Department of Veterans Affairs has established guidelines for veterans and their co-payments. Co-payments may be charged for the following services —
Will I be charged co-pays?
Many veterans qualify for cost-free health care and/or medications based on
- Receiving a Purple Heart Medal, or
- Former Prisoner of War Status, or
- Compensable service-connected disabilities, or
- Low income, or
- Other qualifying factors including treatment related to their military service experience.
Co-payments may be made at the Agent Cashier window, Building 500, first floor, Room 1A-109.
Veterans responsible for Co-Payments will receive a bill at their address of record after their stay or appointment.
If you have any questions about your co-pay balance or other billing questions, please contact the VA's Health Revenue Center at 1-866-393-0006.
Other Health Insurance
VA is required to bill private health insurance providers for medical care, supplies and prescriptions provided for care veterans receive for their non-service connected conditions. You should bring your insurance card with you for your appointment and present it during the check-in process. What's in it for me?
Medicare/Medicaid
The Department of Veterans Affairs does not bill Medicare or Medicaid at this time. You may, however, wish to review information for veterans about the new Medicare prescription drug benefits.
Repayment Plans and Waivers
