VHA Enrollment and Eligibility Training Webinar

  • Veterans Health Administration training has been developed by the Health Eligibility Center (HEC) to provide IHS and Tribal Health programs with an overview of the VA enrollment and eligibility process. The training will include VA Priority Groups, who needs to enroll, basic eligibility criteria, and the health benefits package afforded to enrolled Veterans. Participants will be provided a live demo of the VA online enrollment process (1010-ez) to include specific HEC contact points via telephone, email, and web.

  • The Indian Health Services Area Office Business Office Coordinators will be distributing the live meeting invites throughout the 12 IHS Areas and Tribal health program sites. The training will be offered on two dates – April 25th and May 3rd at 10:00 AM EST and 2:00 PM EST. These are repeat sessions designed to accommodate the national I/T audience in all time zones. Staff only need to attend one of the four sessions.

  • If you would like to participate in one of the upcoming training sessions, please contact Ms. Sherriann Moore at sherriann.moore@ihs.gov or your Indian Health Service Area Office Business Office Coordinator.
