Introduction to CHAMPVA
The Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) provides health care coverage for eligible dependents of veterans. Understanding the essential supporting documents required for eligibility verification is crucial for a smooth application process.
Required Supporting Documents
One of the primary documents you need to submit includes proof of Medicare coverage. Specifically, you will need to provide both the front and back of your Medicare card. This documentation is vital when completing VA Form 10-7959c, which is used to process your eligibility under the CHAMPVA program.
Submitting Your Documents
Once you have gathered the required documents, including your Medicare proof and VA Form 10-7959c, you need to send them to the VHA Office of Community Care. Ensuring that all documents are correctly filled out and submitted is crucial for a timely verification process. Double-check your forms and attachments before mailing them to avoid any delays in your eligibility verification.
