Counts come from the federal CMS Doctors and Clinicians registry, refreshed 2026-09-07. The VA publishes no CHAMPVA provider directory, so this is the closest thing to one.

Military Virginia is home to Fort Gregg-Adams (formerly Fort Lee), Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Fort Eustis, Naval Support Activity Hampton Roads and 3 more installations, so practices in those communities see CHAMPVA families regularly and are often the easiest yes.

What CHAMPVA covers for cardiology

Cardiology visits and diagnostic testing are covered outpatient care, and the VA's provider fact sheet states that approvals for specialist referrals and diagnostic tests are not required when medically necessary. Hospital-based cardiac procedures fall under the Medicare hospital rule, so a Medicare-participating hospital must accept CHAMPVA. Inpatient stays are covered, and every dollar of cost share counts toward the $3,000 yearly family cap.

Before you call a Virginia office: Most cardiology groups are hospital-affiliated. Ask the billing office whether they bill under the hospital's tax ID; if so, the Medicare rule applies and acceptance is not optional.

The rules above are federal, so they read the same in Virginia as anywhere else. Our cardiologists page has the full detail including anything that needs advance approval.

Common questions

How many cardiologists in Virginia can bill CHAMPVA?

2,282 clinicians in Virginia are listed in the federal CMS registry under cardiology, and clinicians who accept Medicare assignment can bill CHAMPVA. That is the 11th largest pool of any state. Each practice still decides for itself, so confirm with the billing office before you book.

Do I need a referral to see a cardiologist in Virginia with CHAMPVA?

No. CHAMPVA does not require referrals anywhere in the country. A short list of services needs preauthorization instead, such as inpatient mental health care and organ transplants.

What will I pay to see a cardiologist in Virginia?

After a $50 per person yearly deductible you pay 25 percent of the CHAMPVA allowable amount, and your family's out-of-pocket costs for covered care stop at $3,000 a year. A provider who accepts CHAMPVA cannot bill you above the allowable.
