Ms. Kouadio, While many Veterans qualify for cost-free health care services based on VA service-connected conditions or other qualifying factors, most Veterans are required to complete a financial assessment at the time of enrollment to determine if they qualify for free health care services. Veterans whose gross household income exceeds the VA income limits may be required to pay a copay for health care services. Please note that VA health care is not an insurance plan. The VA does recommend that Veterans keep any health insurance they have even if they are eligible for VA health care because it will provide options and flexibility in the future.
