Overview
Overview
As part of the Whole Health approach, VA incorporates complementary and integrative health (CIH) services alongside conventional care. The approaches included in the Veterans medical benefits package if deemed appropriate by their care team include:
VA facilities may provide the required CIH approaches internally, on-site, via telehealth, or in the community through volunteers, community partners or the Community Care Network.
VA Directive 1137 — Provision of Complementary and Integrative Health (recertified December 2022) establishes national VHA policy regarding the provision of CIH approaches.
