Returning Combat Veterans
OEF/OIF/OND Care Management Program:
The Hampton VA Medical Center (VAMC) OEF/OIF/OND care management program works exclusively with Operating Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, and Operation New Dawn Veterans. Our staff serve as the primary point of contact for any issues related to access to health care and provide ongoing care management services as needed.
Combat Veteran Eligibility:
The Department of Veterans Affairs has new eligibility rules. These rules apply to both active and reserve component personnel who served in designated combat zones since November 11, 1998. From the date of separation from active duty, an eligible Veteran may receive 5 years of free priority care.
* Free care refers to all services related to the Veteran's combat experience, even if there is insufficient medical evidence to conclude that such a condition is attributable to such service. Co-payments may be charged for the treatment of non-combat related conditions.
To enroll in the VA Health Care System and apply for benefits, contact the OEF/OIF/OND program for assistance or you may fill out an online application <https://www.1010ez.med.va.gov/sec/vha/1010ez/>.
