New Veteran Health Benefits Handbook:

The VA began mailing a personalized Veteran Health Benefits Handbook the last week of FEB to all veterans enrolled in VA health care. The new handbook is tailored specifically for each veteran and provides detailed information about the VA health services the veteran may be eligible to receive. The Veteran Health Benefit Handbook provides answers to common questions such as contact information for the Veteran's local facility, instructions on how to schedule appointments, guidelines for communicating treatment needs and an explanation of the veteran's responsibilities, such as co-pays, if applicable. For additional information about the Veterans Health Benefits Handbook refer to "http://www.va.gov/healthbenefits/assets/documents/publications/faq_veterans.pdf" or call VA at 1 877-222-VETS (8387).
