Do you think you had contact with Agent Orange, an herbicide used to clear trees and plants during the Vietnam War, or other herbicides while serving in the military?
Yes, I do.
In that case you can request a VA Agent Orange Registry health exam. Even if you don't have a known illness, the exam could alert you to illnesses that may be related to contact with herbicides.
I see. And what are you going to examine?
We'll examine your history of contact with Agent Orange and other herbicides, and your health history including any major illnesses or surgeries you may have had.
That's what I thought. And how do I schedule an exam?
To schedule an exam, contact your local VA environmental health coordinator. If you qualify, you won't have to pay anything for this exam.
Can we make an appointment?
Sure, simply contact your local VA environmental health coordinator.
Oh, alright. I thought we could do it online. Will I need to pay anything for this exam?
