Veterans: Foreign Medical Program (FMP)

The Foreign Medical Program (FMP) is a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care benefits program for U.S. Veterans who are residing or traveling abroad and have VA-rated, service-connected disabilities. Under FMP, VA assumes payment responsibility for certain necessary health care services received in foreign countries and associated with the treatment of service-connected disabilities, or any disability associated with and held to be aggravating a service-connected condition. (Veterans living in Canada are under the jurisdiction of FMP; however, inquiries and claims must be directed to the Foreign Countries Operations in Canada. See contact information below.) Additionally, VA may authorize necessary foreign medical services for any condition for a Veteran participating in the VA Vocational Rehabilitation Program (38 U.S.C. 31).

Veterans: Mammography Helpline

Veteran’s Administration (VA) facilities are exempted from MQSA. However, VA has initiated its own quality mammography program with standards as strict as those required by MQSA. All VA facilities are required to be accredited by the American College of Radiology. They are also inspected annually by MQSA-trained inspectors. Call the toll-free number Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Messages can be left after hours and calls will be returned. Representatives of the VA will help callers locate a VA facility.

Veterans: Service members and/or Veterans Group Life Insurance Program

Veterans’ Group Life Insurance (VGLI) is a program that allows you to continue life insurance coverage after you separate from service.

Veterans: Spina Bifida Health Care Program

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides monetary allowances, vocational training and rehabilitation and VA-financed health care benefits to certain Korea and Vietnam Veterans’ birth children who have been diagnosed with spina bifida (SB). If you are the birth child of a Vietnam Veteran and you have been diagnosed with spina bifida, you may already be receiving monetary allowances, vocational training or rehabilitation due to your condition. For the purpose of the VA SB Health Care Benefits Program, SB is defined as all forms or manifestations of spina bifida (except spina bifida occulta). – See more at: http://www.va.gov/PURCHASEDCARE/programs/dependents/spinabifida/#sthash.yb39IPUi.dpuf
