I was trying to verify a Community Care referral and when I tried to find a number to call, this is what came up. The person who answered sounded like she was using a tin can and string with an echo so she was either using a speaker phone or faulty headset. Either way, it made communication difficult and when I relayed my question, her response was basically "Why are you calling here?" and "This is CHAMPVA." Number one, I don't know what CHAMPVA is and just saying it over and over again is not helpful; number two, this was the number that came up when I searched for Community Care and the title of the office says "VHA Office of Community Care" which I would think would lead most people to believe that if they're looking for a number for Community Care, this would be a good place to start. Obviously I was wrong and when she asked if I wanted to be transferred I said yes thinking that she would transfer me to the Community Care line. Well, I guess today's the day that I'm stuck on wrong and I end up back to the main Rocky Mountain line where I started and had since been told that I needed to reach out to Community Care. I'm not sure if the "recording for quality assurance" continues to record after a transfer has been made, but if it does, I apologize ahead of time for the string of expletives that I may have uttered before I hung up. If I'm way off base here, let me know and I'll come back and refresh this, but in addition to being super annoyed trying to find ANY number from the VA that is useable, the experience calling this place set my teeth on edge.

What a crock called estimated wait time 106 minutes what the hell is going on at champ va

Max Cohen | Oct 11, 2019
Vanessa Arroyo | Oct 11, 2019

From what I understand It is one VHA center serving the entire country, and they are severely understaffed. Write or call your Congress Rep. And demand that they raise that department's budget so more offices and employees can opened/hired. Otherwise the wait time will continue.

My wife is currently enrolled In CHAMVA due to the fact that l am 100% permently disabled. If she retires at 62 will CHAMVA cover her until she becomes eligible for MEDICARE at 65?

Ronnie Coleman | Oct 11, 2019
Neiko Herndon | Oct 11, 2019

Yes and to remain ChampVA eligible she must have Medicare part A and B upon her 65th birthday.

The Community Care Field Guide Book is on a internal VA website and not available to the public. Where is this guidebook available to look at on a non VA internal website. I would assume that there is no classified data in this guidebook.

You say you are getting an unusual quantity of phone traffic which is why you have such a long delay in answering new calls. Solution: Add additional lines and hire more folks to answer the phone! Increased business is no reason to punish us.

Those guys don't want to ask for the money to hire more people. They also hire EVERYONE who applies without assessing their skills. The training is terrible, so many people have to put callers on hold to ask someone for answers. Information is also so disorganized in their systems that it can take 20 minutes to find it. Doctors don't get reimbursed for 8 months, so they have their office call in to check on their claims status. Many claims that are sent via mail or fax (or both) get "lost." Some people also have long conversations with callers on unrelated topics, such as political elections, vacation plans, etc. All of this causes the HOUR long wait times.

I understand there is now a CHAMPVA Supplement Plan. If one is now signed up with Medicare, would there be any advantage to enrolling in this?

Jane Besel | Oct 11, 2019
Nadine Borrego | Oct 10, 2020

No. Champva will work as a Medicare supplement they will pick up the 20 % Medicare does not if it’s a covered service. You wouldnt have an out of pocket that would require you to have an additional supplement

Does CHAMPVA cover the Shingrix shingles vaccine? Any restrictions on where it can be administered?

CHAMPVA covers the Shingles vaccine in accordance with CDC recommended dosing/age guidelines. CHAMPVA is an open-access program; you can see any medical provider you like.

If I go to a on base hospital as the spouse of a vet that's 100% tp and I have champva? I have received a bill and was wondering if champva was like tricare on base and the visits were suppose to be fully covered?

Jakia Wright | Oct 11, 2019
Nadine Borrego | Oct 10, 2020

Champva is not like tricare, they only have same pay rates as tricare. They do not cover on base only civilian doctors or va medical centers that accept champva though the CITI program

In some areas, Veterans' needs utilize the full capacity of the VA medical facility. If a facility experiences a change in Veteran workload, they may decide to limit or discontinue CITI services. Please view the list of participating CITI facilities on the VHA OCC website which provides a recommended contact number for Veterans Affairs medical facilities who are participating or have participated in the CHAMPVA In-House Treatment Program (CITI). *https://www.va.gov/COMMUNITYCARE/docs/programs/CITI-facilities.docx# You may also contact the VHA Office of Community Care (VHA OCC) and we can assist you in finding other providers if you are no longer able to be treated at a VA facility. *CHAMPVA Customer Call Center: 800-733-8387, Monday–Friday, 8:05 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. EST

Faxing to 303-331-7809 will get your documents to the agency faster; however, everything is worked in the order it was received. It is recommended to send your documents via both methods: fax and mail.
