VA News – If you’re a Veteran with a permanent and total service-connected disability, your family members may have access to VA-covered care through the Civilian Health and Medical Program of VA (CHAMPVA).
What is CHAMPVA?
- CHAMPVA is a health care benefit program for family members of Veterans with a permanent and total service-connected disability, provided they don’t qualify for TRICARE.
- CHAMPVA is not an insurance policy, but it shares the cost for care and will pay as secondary to any other health insurance.
- Family members can enroll in CHAMPVA by completing and mailing a CHAMPVA application form and Other Health Insurance certification form.
