Oh, hello. I'm here to learn more about health care for spouses. Can you help me out?
Of course. Are you the spouse, surviving spouse, dependent child or family caregiver of a Veteran or service member then?
No, I'm not. You see, I'm trying to get information for my sister, she has problems doing that on her own due to her disability.
================
So, she has been married to a service member who died on duty, his surviving spouse. And we heard about the health program. Does she qualify for this?
Yes, in your case you may be able to get health insurance through CHAMPVA. Through this program, we cover the cost of some of your health care services and supplies.
================
Does this mean she might also qualify for health care benefits then?
Yes, she may qualify for health care benefits. In certain cases, people may also qualify for health care benefits due to a disability related to their Veteran's service.
================
Great. She'll be happy to hear that. What is the name of the program again?
The Program of Comprehensive Assistance for Family Caregivers, she may qualify for health care benefits and other caregiver support through it.
================
Great, great. Now, her disabilities require medication, are there any prescreption benefits through our local pharmacy if we sign up for a program?
Yes, you can get prescription benefits through your local pharmacy or through our Meds by Mail program.
================
I've also read about the Camp Lejeune Family Member Program, how can I find out if my sister qualifies for it?
You may qualify for healthcare benefits through VA. Please refer to the website to find out if you do.
