What if I get sick while on travel?

You may receive health care at any Veterans Affairs health care facility in the country. To minimize any “out-of-pocket” expenses while traveling, you should familiarize yourself with the location of any Veterans Affairs health care facilities in the area. Veterans Affair’s authority to reimburse you for care in non-Veterans Affairs facilities is very limited.
