Okay, we can help you find out how to apply for VA health care benefits as a Veteran or service member
so what will I need to have ready?
You should find out if you are eligible for VA health care benefits, and you should have the documents that you will need ready
I see. That is very useful. Hey, the other day I found out about something called Tricare, could you tell me more?
Sure. Tricare provides comprehensive health coverage, including health plans, prescription medicines, dental plans and programs for people with special needs. This program is managed by DOD's Health agency.
Umm, looks like a very complete program. Say, i remembered that a friend of mine has a child with something about its spine, i think it's called somthing bifida, sorry, do you know if he can get help for the child?
You mean Spina Bifida. And yes, if your friend is a Vietnam War Veteran, He may qualify for disability benefits for his child, including health care benefits.
Great, i'll make sure he knows about this. Could you tell me what i have to be in order to qualify for Tricare?
Well, you may qualify if you're the family member of an active-duty, retired or deceased service member, National Guard soldier, reservist or medal of honor recipient.
I heard something about a camp lejeune?
