The MISSION Act gives Veterans greater access to health care in VA facilities and the community, expands benefits for caregivers, and improves VA’s ability to recruit and retain the best
medical providers. INFORMATION FOR VETERANS The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides care to enrolled Veterans through community providers when VA Medical Centers cannot provide the
care needed. Community care is based on specific eligibility requirements, availability of VA care, and the needs and circumstances of individual Veterans. This care is provided and paid for
by VA. Community care must be first authorized by VA before a Veteran can receive care from a community provider. To learn more about the types of care available click here. As with care
provided directly by VA, Veterans are charged a copayment for nonservice-connected care. In addition, VA may bill Veterans’ health insurance for medical care, supplies, and prescriptions
related to treatment of nonservice-connected conditions. Learn how to pay your bill and alternative payment options. Emergency Care Watch this VA video on receiving emergency medical care in
the community. The VA Northern California Health Care System's Office of Community Care is available to assist providers and Veterans when needed. If you have questions, please call
