Health Care Is Provided On A Priority List Due To Limited Funding
Next » « Previous3/9
Due to limited funding, the VA maintains a priority list. Upon enrolling in the system you will be assigned a priority and access to care will be based on that number and overall availability. The priorities, in order, are:
- First priority is for emergencies and for patients who have already begun treatment at a particular facility.
- Second priority is for people needing treatment for service-connected conditions.
- Third is for patients who are receiving or who are eligible to receive, VA disability benefits and who need treatment for non-service-connected conditions.
The remaining capacity for care is usually filled by veterans and their dependents and survivors who are age 65, receiving a VA pension and who are unable to afford the care elsewhere.
