PACT Act Toxic Exposure Screening and your VA benefits

A toxic exposure screening supports your long-term health plan and ensures you receive informed, whole-health care. It’s a quick 5-10 minute screening to identify any potential exposures to toxins during your military service. We’ll connect you to additional resources if you have any concerns.

Get your toxic exposure screening 

All Veterans enrolled in VA health care can receive a toxic exposure screening. A provider will screen you and then send the information over to our PACT Act care coordinators who will then be able to provide information about how to file a claim. Claims are done with at special medical exams in Building 135. Once complete, the information is sent to be included in the PACT Act registry. 

All enrolled Veterans should receive the screening at least once every five years.

It’s a quick 5-10 minute screening to identify any potential exposures to toxins during your military service.  Depending on your response, you may be connected to support and resources, including a review by your primary care team.
