Whole Health Logo

By Chris Klug, Public Affairs Specialist

Some Whole Health and well-being services will now have a $15 copayment. This applies to Veterans already responsible for outpatient copayments.

Who Is Affected? 

Veterans in Priority Groups 6, 7, and 8 who pay other outpatient copays. Not affected:            

• Veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 50% or more                                               

• Veterans receiving care for a service-connected condition                                                   

• Other Veterans who already qualify for copay exemptions 

 

Which Services Are Included? 

  • Guided imagery
  • Meditation  
  • Yoga
  • Tai chi/qigong  
  • Health coaching
  • Wellness Groups 

 

What’s Not Changing? 

• Whole Health services remain available.                                                                                                

• Exempt Veterans will stay exempt.                                                                                                     

• No services are being cut or reduced. 

 

Why Is This Happening? 

VA must follow federal law about copayments. This update makes billing consistent and fair across all VA facilities.
