Roseburg VA Health Care System makes it easier for women Veterans to access gynecology care

Dear Veterans:

Enrolled women Veterans can now schedule gynecology appointments without needing a referral from primary care.

Can I still ask my provider for a gynecology appointment? Yes.

Can I still receive women’s health care services from VA primary care? Yes. If you choose, you can continue receiving routine women’s health care, screening, and services from your regular women’s health and primary care teams.

Will I be charged a copay after a gynecology appointment? You may be charged copays for VA gynecology care for conditions not related to your military service, depending on your service-connected disability rating and income. You can contact 541.440.1000, option #6 or the Health Resource Center (HRC) if you have questions about copays.

Does VA offer care for women Veterans who are pregnant or interested in becoming pregnant? Yes. Routine prenatal care, labor and delivery, and immediate postpartum care are provided to Veterans through care in the community. Veterans are connected to this care through their primary care team, who are critical partners in their health during pregnancy and postpartum.

Every VA medical facility provides maternity care coordination. VA maternity care coordinators understand Veterans’ needs and can support them through every stage of their pregnancy through the postpartum period.

Veterans who are pregnant are encouraged to contact the VA maternity care coordinator (MCC) at their local VA medical facility or the RVAHCS MCC at 541.670.2458. Veterans can also talk to their VA care teams or send a Secure Message.

Veterans seeking fertility care should discuss this with their primary care team who can connect them with the care they need.
