and do you pay for sensitive diagnoses?
As a result of the 2018 VA MISSION Act, we no longer need permission to bill health insurance providers for care related to a sensitive diagnosis (such as alcohol or drug abuse, alcoholism, HIV or HIV testing, sickle cell disease, or other diagnoses included in Public Law 38 USC7332 (protected information).
What if my health insurance provider doesn't cover all non-service care that VA bills them?
You will not have to pay any unpaid balance that is not covered by your health insurance provider.
