Are there any programs to help veterans access medical care?

Yes, there are several programs to help veterans in North Carolina access medical care. The North Carolina Department of Military and Veterans Affairs’ “Mission: Health Care” initiative provides direct access to healthcare services for veterans and their families. The program covers medical care for service-related illnesses and conditions and offers assistance with access to care. This includes primary care, specialty care, hospital care, and medical equipment. Veterans with service-related disability ratings of 50% or higher may also be eligible for additional health care services through the VA Medical Care program. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs offers a variety of other health services and programs for veterans, including home health care, mental health care, pharmaceutical benefits, and a host of other services. Veterans who are low-income may also qualify for the North Carolina State Health Plan for Veterans. This provides additional coverage for inpatient care, prescription drugs, mental health services, durable medical equipment, and long-term care. It also offers discounts on vision, dental, and hearing care. Finally, veterans may be eligible to receive health care through the VA’s Civilian Health and Medical Program. This program provides coverage of medical and mental health services for veterans who are not enrolled in VA care. This includes reimbursement for services provided outside the VA system.
