CHAMPVA, My HealtheVet and Online Prescriptions
Meds by Mail users can now use My HealtheVet to refill prescriptions
Champva Mammogram Coverage
If you are a beneficiary in the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) and are eligible to use Meds by Mail (MbM), My HealtheVet's Pharmacy feature is now available for you to use. You can refill, review, and track your prescriptions online.
To use MbM for your prescriptions, you cannot have any other health insurance with prescription coverage, including Medicare Part D. MbM is an excellent benefit for CHAMPVA beneficiaries because there is no annual deductible, no cost share, and prescriptions are delivered directly to your home.
Learn about CHAMPVA benefits, which cover the cost of health care for the spouse or child of a Veteran who has disabilities or is deceased. Find out about CHAMPVA eligibility, and how to submit an application for the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veteran Affairs. My understanding is that there's a $100 deductible, and then 25% copay up to $3,000. So the most I could ever pay in a year is $3,100. Currently I have great insurance through my employer that combined with CHAMPVA would result in $0 out of pocket expenses, but I'm paying $3,800 annually for that.

In most cases, CHAMPVA's allowable amount—what we pay for specific services and supplies—is equivalent to Medicare/TRICARE rates. CHAMPVA has an outpatient deductible ($50 per beneficiary per calendar year or a maximum of $100 per family per calendar year) and a patient cost share of 25% of our allowable amount up to the catastrophic cap ($3,000 per calendar year). Beneficiaries should NOT send checks to VHA OCC for their annual deductible; as claims are processed, charges are automatically credited to individual and family deductible requirements for each calendar year.
Who Accepts Champva Insurance
If your provider accepts assignment, which means the provider accepts CHAMPVA, the provider agrees to accept our allowable amount as payment in full. A provider cannot bill you for the difference between our allowable amount and their normally billed amount.
If the patient has other health insurance, then CHAMPVA pays the lesser of either 75% of the allowable amount after the $50 calendar year deductible is satisfied, or the remainder of the charges and the beneficiary will normally have no cost share.
