VA Drug Coverage for Surviving Spouses

Fri, 07/12/2002 - 12:00am — Karen Stevenson
Description: 

The VA has a relatively new program to provide prescription drug coverage to surviving spouses of veterans who were completely disabled or who died in action. The Champva for Life program will pay 25% of prescription drug costs for qualifying beneficiaries. Previously, beneficiaries who were age 65 or older could not receive any coverage under the VA program, but that changed last October when presciption drug coverage was extended to Medicare beneficiaries.
