What CHAMPVA covers for physician assistants

PA visits are covered outpatient care: $50 yearly deductible, then 25 percent of the allowable amount, capped at $3,000 per family per year. If the PA works inside a hospital-based clinic, the Medicare rule applies: hospitals and hospital-based providers that accept Medicare must also accept CHAMPVA.

Before you call a Michigan office: When a specialist's schedule is full, ask whether the practice's PA can see you first. Same coverage, faster appointment.

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