Sunset of Veterans Choice Program
Starting June 7, 2019, VA can no longer furnish care to eligible Veterans under VCP. As a result, VCP eligibility criteria will no longer be used to determine eligibility for care beyond that date. To prepare for the end of VCP, VA has already begun transitioning its authorizations for care away from VCP in advance to make sure Veterans do not experience a lapse in care after June 6, 2019.
Certain Veterans that were eligible under VCP based on distance may still be eligible to receive community care after June 6, 2019, under the “grandfather” eligibility criterion established under the MISSION Act.
Veterans who were eligible for community care under VCP should speak to their VA care team or a VA staff member at their local VA medical facility about their eligibility for community care after June 6, 2019.
Veterans can call the VA Adverse Credit Helpline at 877-881-7618 for help resolving adverse credit reporting and debt collection issues as a result of using community care.
