mclevela726 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Hello all, If I disenroll (cancel) from care at VA will my family lose CHAMPVA. I ask because I have private insurance (required by my employer to opt into) and I want to see a private doctor. Thanks. MCleve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 oceanorange Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 personal opinion based on personal experience. just to go to yearly VA check ups, feel free to use private doctor otherwise... this will keep your VA active (JUST IN CASE you loose your private for any unforeseen future reason). I had stopped using anything VA for 20 years, thank God I kept some kind of activity back 20 years ago which kept an active record and I was able to re-activate easily when I desperately needed it..20 years later, at that time in the past, I said I would never ever involve myself with anything military... low and behold.. here I am full circle.

I dont recommend "disenrolling" from VAMC. Its unnecessary, and burns down bridges you may want to cross in the future, perhaps rendering it more difficult to re enroll later, should you so decide.

Mclevelan726 You said"I agree with the VA as a back-up plan. However, how might I approach this is a manner that I am not being double treated for the same thing without "burning bridges" with VA?" I
