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