How FMP generally works1 2 3 4
A practical four-step path
According to the VA, FMP may cover medically necessary care received outside the United States for a VA-rated service-connected disability, certain associated conditions that aggravate it, or qualifying care connected to the Veteran Readiness and Employment program.
Choose a provider
The VA says Veterans may choose a licensed healthcare provider in the foreign country.
Document the care
Request an itemized statement with provider details, diagnoses, services and dates.
Submit the claim
The provider may file, or you may pay and submit your own claim with supporting records.
