What CHAMPVA covers for psychology
Outpatient therapy sessions are covered with the $50 yearly deductible and a 25 percent cost share, and no referral is needed. The VA's preauthorization list covers inpatient mental health care and substance use treatment, not routine outpatient counseling. Telehealth therapy is a practical option for families far from a psychologist's office; confirm the practice bills CHAMPVA for video sessions.
The rules above are federal, so they read the same in Arizona as anywhere else. Our psychologists page has the full detail including anything that needs advance approval.
