New! Combat Veterans Eligibility Benefits Extended to Five Years!

Central Texas Veterans Health Care System (CTVHCS) is committed to providing medical care and counseling services for returning service members.

Enrollment

The Department of Veterans Affairs has promoted new eligibility rules that provide Active Component and Reserve Component personnel who served in designated combat zones (since November 11, 1998) with 2 years of free care from the date of separation from active duty. This includes Reservists or National Guard members who have been activated for federal duty and now have "veteran status."
