Hello, I need information about health care costs.
Of course. We're committed to providing free health care for conditions related to military service and for Veterans with catastrophic disabilities and disability ratings of at least 50 %, as well as for those who can't afford to pay for care.
================
I see. I'm a bit confused about the costs though. Can you help me understand the health care costs?
================
Gladly. Would you like to know if I can get free VA health care as a Veteran?
Yes, please.
You can get free VA health care for any illness or injury that we determine is related to your military service called "service connected".
================
Interesting. And which documents do I need to provide?
You'll need to provide your gross household income for the previous year. So if you re applying for health care in 2019, you'll need to provide your gross household income for 2018.
Does your wife, partner, or dependent child also contribute income to the household?
No. I'm the only one.
================
Does this mean I have to carry the costs of my medications?
Whether or not you'll need to pay copays and how much you'll pay depends on your disability rating, income level, military service record, and which of our 8 priority groups we assign you to when you enroll in VA health care.
