Are all veterans charged an outpatient co-payment?
• Service connected veterans are exempt from outpatient co-payment charges. Most nonservice connected veterans and noncompensable 0 percent service connected veterans are required to complete an annual means test. The means test is a measure of your family’s income and assets. Means test threshold levels change on an annual basis. If your income & assets fall below the threshold, you will not be charged co-payments for outpatient care.
