Why Apply for VA Health Care

Why apply for VA health care? VA health care covers regular checkups with primary care providers and appointments with specialists such as cardiologists, mental health providers, and gynecologists. VA health care provides access to home health and geriatric care, prescriptions, medical equipment, and prosthetics. For those who qualify for additional benefits, the VA will help to pay for dental care.

When the VA cannot provide the needed care, care may be received from a community provider. This care is provided on behalf of the VA and is paid for by the VA. More information on community care is found at https://www.va.gov/COMMUNITYCARE/programs/veterans/index.asp.

It is important to take advantage of all resources to keep healthy and have access to care when needed. Find out how to apply for VA healthcare at https://www.va.gov/health-care/how-to-apply/.
