What CHAMPVA covers for family medicine

CHAMPVA covers office visits, sick visits, and chronic-condition management as outpatient care after the $50 yearly deductible, with a 25 percent cost share. Preventive care is covered too: federal regulation specifically covers an annual physical examination, immunizations recommended by the CDC, cancer screenings, and well-child care. No referral is needed for anything a family doctor orders, including specialist visits and diagnostic tests.

Before you call a Massachusetts office: Ask for the billing office and say the words "CHAMPVA pays like Medicare." Family practices that already bill Medicare can bill CHAMPVA the same day.

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