Veterans Affairs Urgent Care Medical Benefit - Great For Traveling Veterans

The Veterans Affairs Urgent Care medical benefit program allows eligible veterans to receive treatment at "minute clinic" locations when they can't see their primary care doctor. The VA urgent care benefit is great for veterans who need medical care but can't see their normal va doctor because they are traveling. The VA urgent care benefit can also help veterans get medical care when their VA doctor is closed on the weekends, or if the veteran has moved to a new city and hasn't been able to get set up with their new VA doctor yet. #veteransbenefits #vabenefits #veteransaffairs

Disclaimer: The VA Urgent Care Benefit is NOT the same as the Emergency care benefit. Make sure you are using the right one for the right situation as they both have different requirements. Here's the link to find an eligible urgent care. www.va.gov/find-locations/

They closed minute clinics in Drugstores here. Not once could we find them open before that. Weird and terrible, need it.

Wow! I'm really sorry to hear that.

Thank you for covering this! I feel like it’s not a very well understood program and it’s very important!

[@ThePartTimeEconomist]

I'm glad to help. There are a lot of programs out there that are designed to help, and I don't want anyone to miss out.

How about if you have 100% and your dependent is on CHAMPUSVA...can she go to an Urgent Care as well?

[@bcssylf]

Champva is not affiliated with va doctors, they can go anywhere

I wish I knew the answer to that one. Hopefully someone else who knows will stop by.
