CHAMPVA OB-GYN Doctors

Maternity care is one of the services the VA lists by name as covered under CHAMPVA. For a spouse or an adult daughter carrying CHAMPVA, that means prenatal visits, delivery, and postpartum care are covered, and the hospital that delivers the baby must accept it if it takes Medicare.

What an OB-GYN does

Obstetricians and gynecologists provide women's reproductive health care: prenatal care, labor and delivery, postpartum care, contraception, routine gynecologic exams, and treatment of conditions such as fibroids and endometriosis.

What CHAMPVA covers for ob-gyn

The VA's list of covered CHAMPVA services includes family planning and maternity care. Regulation also covers cervical and breast cancer screening as preventive care. Prenatal visits are outpatient care under the standard deductible and cost share, delivery is inpatient care, and a Medicare-participating hospital must accept CHAMPVA. No referral is required to see an OB-GYN.

Before you book: Confirm coverage with both the OB-GYN's office and the hospital's billing department early in a pregnancy, and ask the hospital to verify eligibility on CHAMPVA's 24-hour provider line so there are no surprises at delivery.
