How does a service-connected disabled veteran get prosthesis in a foreign country?
If you reside in a foreign country and you require a prosthesis for your VA rated service-connected condition, and the cost of the prosthetic appliance exceeds $300 (U.S. currency), you must obtain preauthorization from the VA Foreign Medical Program (FMP) office located in Denver, Colorado. If the cost is less than $300 (U.S. currency) you may purchase the prosthetic appliance from a local health care provider and send the invoice to the FMP Office for reimbursement, or the health care provider may bill the VA. Preauthorization requests and claims for reimbursement should be submitted to: VA Health Administration Center (FMP), PO Box 65021, Denver, CO 80206-9021, USA. Requests may also be submitted via telefax, 24-hours a day, to 303-331-7803. In Canada, contact the local office of Veterans Affairs Canada or the VA Medical and Regional Office Center, White River Junction, VT. Go to our Medical Treatment Canada page.
