What CHAMPVA covers for nurse practitioners

Care delivered by a nurse practitioner is covered outpatient care under CHAMPVA: the $50 yearly deductible, then 25 percent of the allowable amount. Nurse practitioners are the single largest specialty in the statewide counts below, and NPs who bill Medicare can bill CHAMPVA without any enrollment step.

Before you call a Colorado office: Urgent care clinics staffed by NPs are a strong option for same-day needs. Confirm CHAMPVA at check-in and keep the itemized receipt in case you need to file the claim yourself.

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