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 Texas is home to Sheppard Air Force Base, Goodfellow Air Force Base, Laughlin Air Force Base, Fort Cavazos and 6 more installations, so practices in those communities see CHAMPVA families regularly and are often the easiest yes.

How family doctors compare in Texas

Among the seven clinician types we count by state, family medicine is the 3rd largest in Texas with 16,460 providers, behind physician assistants (24,238) and nurse practitioners (40,204), and ahead of internal medicine doctors (16,011). That matters when you are deciding how wide to cast your net: a larger pool usually means a shorter drive and a faster appointment.

The deepest benches in Texas are Wichita Falls with 166 verified local providers, Austin with 161 verified local providers, San Angelo with 157 verified local providers, and we list 21 more Texas cities. Start with the nearest one, then widen if nobody is taking new patients.

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 Texas 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 Texas as anywhere else. Our family doctors page has the full detail including anything that needs advance approval.

Common questions

How many family doctors in Texas can bill CHAMPVA?

16,460 clinicians in Texas are listed in the federal CMS registry under family practice, and clinicians who accept Medicare assignment can bill CHAMPVA. That is the 2nd 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 family doctor in Texas 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 family doctor in Texas?

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.
