CHAMPVA Supplement for Individuals

A CHAMPVA supplement insurance plan wraps around your CHAMPVA insurance coverage, so that in most cases, you will obtain reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses not paid for by CHAMPVA. The supplement, like the CHAMPVA health insurance program itself, assists the spouses and dependents of veterans.

The supplement helps these families deal with all the “left over” inpatient and outpatient services expenses CHAMPVA leaves behind. It's a type of optional health insurance that helps many VA families.

What is CHAMPVA?

The Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) is a health benefits program in which the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) shares the cost of certain health care services and supplies with eligible beneficiaries. In general, the CHAMPVA program covers most health care services and supplies that are medically and psychologically necessary.
