Department of Veterans Affairs (VAMC) is a federal government agency organization that provides healthcare services to its service members. The way the VA charges for service is based on service connection and means test to determine financial eligibility for a copay. A veteran is eligible to seek care within the VA organization if he/she enrolls within the VA, and received in the past twenty-four months. With the passage of the Mission Act 2019, VA is partnered with the community to allow veterans more accessible access to care within their community. For whatever the care the individual is seeking in the community, if it is service-connected, the VA will cover the entire bill. If it is not service-connected, the VA will submit a claim to the individual insurance in an attempt to collect the payment. Again, the way the organization obtains its reimbursement is: based on an individual’s disability acquired during federal service (Service-connected) fees would be determined based on the percentage of coverage. If the care is related to service connection, no copayment is required. Inpatient services no additional charges. If the individuals need to have service that is not related to service connection, the VA will file a claim to the insurance in an attempt to collect payment. Primary care services – individual with service connection- no copay. Non-service-connected for primary care $ 15.00 copay and specialty care (eyes, heart, hearing etc.) $50.00 copay and particular test like MRI/CT scan $50.00 copay.
If the individuals are not able to pay their bills, the treatment will be provided regardless. The VA is required by law to collect all copay dept for VA health care services 30 days to pay the bill in full, dispute the charge, or request a financial hardship for assistance such as a payment plan or debt relief before the 30 days otherwise, late fees and interest will accrue. As of January 1, 2020, some veterans do not have copay due to their disability rating, income level, or special eligibility.
Urgent Care Copay rates are in group priority based on military service has eight priority group when the individual enrolled in VA Health care. Priority group 1-5 no copay for the first three visits in each calendar year, and additional visits within the same year will be $30. Group 6 if the condition is related, no copay for the 3 visits, and if not related $ 30 each visit. Group 7-8 $30 copay.
