What a urologist does
Urologists diagnose and treat conditions of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system: prostate enlargement and cancer, kidney stones, bladder problems, incontinence, and urinary infections. Many perform minimally invasive surgery.
What CHAMPVA covers for urology
Urology visits, imaging, and procedures are covered under CHAMPVA's standard outpatient and inpatient rules, and no referral is required. Regulation covers prostate cancer screening as a preventive service. Hospital-based procedures at a Medicare-participating facility fall under the rule that the hospital must accept CHAMPVA.
