Can anyone give me insight into this veteran's health insurance we supposedly have? How does one use it??

VA Care in the Community. But I wouldn't count on it. I still havent been reimbursed for a preauthorized mammogram!!

There is a Veteran program that extends beyond the VA Hospital if you are otherwise qualified and are unable to receive the appropriate treatment within 30 days (or they have certain geographical challenges) for routing non-emergencies. All Veterans in the program were to have received their cards at this point. If you qualify and have not I would contact the VA promptly.

FYI not all veterans are eligible for VA Health Coverage.

Obviously if you have any service connected disabilities you are covered.

Some veterans who served in specific campaigns or regions are covered. I fall under this because I was deployed in Desert Storm.

There are others who just don't meet the criteria.
