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