Veterans' Health Care and Medical Benefits Package
(Separate Website)
One of the most visible of all Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits is health care. In October 1996, Congress passed Public Law 104-262, the Veterans' Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996. This legislation paved the way for creation of a Medical Benefits Package -- a standardized, enhanced health benefits plan available to all enrolled veterans. The law also simplified the process for veterans to receive services.
Like other standard health care plans, the Medical Benefits Package emphasizes preventive and primary care, offering a full range of outpatient and inpatient services. This document contains more information about the kinds of services covered.
