What Happens if I am Disenrolled from the VA Health Care System?
Typically, enrollment in the VA health care system is continuous. A veteran does not need to disenroll from VA to enroll in other health plans, they may have either or both. A veteran who decides to disenroll from VA may not be able to re-enroll in VA later if VA is not enrolling all Priority Groups. There are a few instances where a veteran may be disenrolled: • The veteran is determined not eligible for enrollment • VA takes action that causes the veteran to be disenrolled • The veteran requests to be disenrolled. VA will provide a letter to the veteran that he or she is disenrolled for VA health care. If you lose creditable coverage from VA or another provider, you may be subject to financial penalties or benefit restrictions if you don’t replace the coverage within a specific time period.
