Does CHAMPVA cover diabetic supplies?
One of my dependents is diabetic. Does anyone know if CHAMPVA will cover and/or reimburse for out of pocket diabetic supplies? For example, glucometer, test strips, lances, alcohol pads, etc... I tried looking on the CHAMPVA site and must have missed it. I'll call them at some point later in the week, too... Thanks!

CHAMPVA supplements
I am just wondering if any of you that have CHAMPVA are using any supplements other than Medicare/Medicaid? I had Selman through AMRA but now AMRA is shutting down the only way you could get it was through them.

Endangering Benefits?
I did not apply for my veterans benefits until 20 years after retirement. I have established medical care in the civilian arena and have doctors that I trust and know my extensive history. I have used the VA and what I have received has been outstanding but not very timely. Being on Medicare and TriCare for life has some advantages that I use to my advantage (I am over 65 and 100% P&T). By not using VA Medical care am I endangering my VA benefits?

ChampVA
If your spouse has ChampVA and you die does the spouse continue to be entitled to ChampVA between the time you die and the time your widow gets DIC? It might take a year for your spouse to get DIC so what happens between times?

SA Equipment and Supplies
Now that I have been approved for SA how do I get the VA to buy my supplies and replace my CPAP from time to time? Do I go to the VA hospital to do this? If so, do I need to worry about the VA trying to say my SA is getting better and try to reduce me? I have never had the VA give me anything (meds, supplies, etc) before. I get all my meds through the military since I am retired. Thanks for your responses.

Deductibles??!?! or is it really a Premium?
so wife finally using Champva. first claim processed and we get a bill in the mail. its $50 more than the doctors services tally up to. we call champva today and they let us know this is the deductible. but this doesn't makes sense to me. i worked in the insurance field for few years dealing with medicare and medicaid along with biggies like HUMANA and BCBS etc. from what i understand the doctor bill us for about 2k. champva paid their 75% and then they added the $50 bucks on top of our 25% co-insure payments(they didnt like me calling it a copay on the phone btw...they kept correcting me saying its "cost share") so, after we get off the call because i could s…

Tricare vs CHampVA
@Hamslice wait so you are retired from NG with 20+ ? or just was NG? i can only find retirees eligible for tricare. hasnt she always been eligable for tricare if thats the case though- not just since your win? maybe someone has something more on topic or maybe im missing the Retiree part(which seems like you wouldnt ever be eligable for champva if you were retiree, even before 60) https://www.va.gov/health-care/family-caregiver-benefits/champva/ https://www.va.gov/survivors/faqs.asp#FAQ11

Can a widow lose her CHAMPVA
I have a question, does a widow of a deceased 100% Agent Orange veteran lose her CHAMPVA when she turns 65-year-old? Since I am not familiar with this program, I told her that I would check it out. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Any literature that will explain this next step or is there something wrong or off?

Humana
So, now the promise from the Army I received when I entered is going to be broken again. First time was, Tricare for Life, being FREE, "FREE HEALTHCARE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY", well that's not correct. Even if I except paying the monthly fees and the co-pays, because of where I live, I would have to pay everything not covered by Tricare or Medicare, etc. Last year my wife's care cost $245,000.00. Tricare told me they can't tell me what is covered and where my wife would go until I register with them. I can't take that chance. I have a local (region) Medicare advantage plan that I only pay the monthly fee and a fixed copay of $1200.00. So, I am not taking T…
