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.

Before you call a Vermont office: Many therapists in private practice do not bill any insurance. Ask specifically whether they will file a claim with CHAMPVA. If they will not, you can pay and file the claim yourself with VA Form 10-7959A within one year, and CHAMPVA reimburses up to the allowable amount.

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