What Is the VA Community Care Network?


The VA Community Care Network (VACCN) is a comprehensive program developed by the Department of Veterans Affairs to expand healthcare access for veterans. This network includes many healthcare providers, enabling veterans to receive care outside VA facilities. It offers various medical, surgical, and mental health services, ensuring veterans can access diverse healthcare options close to home. The focus is on high-quality care, coordinated seamlessly across different healthcare providers.

How To Become Eligible for VACCN?

Eligibility for the VACCN is determined based on several factors, including the nature of a veteran’s healthcare needs, the distance from a VA facility, and the availability of services. According to the VA's guidelines, veterans may be eligible if they are already enrolled in the VA health care system or if they meet specific care needs that the VA cannot provide directly. Detailed eligibility information can be found on the VA's Community Care Network page.

How Do I Sign Up for VACCN in Virginia?

Enrolling in the VACCN in Virginia involves a straightforward process. Veterans must first be enrolled in the VA healthcare system. Once enrolled, we can work with their VA care provider to determine if they are eligible for VACCN services. If eligible, the VA provider will issue a referral, and veterans can choose from available providers within the network. The VA's Community Care Network website details the complete process and necessary steps.
