NOTICE: We apologize for any inconvenience, but to protect your privacy, the Central Texas Veterans Health Care System has removed the copay Balance lookup by social security number. If you need to check on your copay balance, please call
1-866-393-9132 toll free.
We appreciate your understanding, and hope that in the near future that MyHealtheVet participants will be able to view their copay balance.

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has established guidelines for veterans and their copayments. Copayments may be charged for the following services —
Copayments are billed once a month and payments can be made at the Agent Cashier offices located in:
- Austin (Agent Cashier window across from the LAB),
- Temple (Teague Tower, Building 163, Room 1B149)
- Waco (Building 4, Room BA135)
Payment can be made by cash, check, money order, debit and credit cards.
If you have any questions about your copay balance, please contact our MCCR Liaison Office at (800) 423-2111, extensions 42036, 42075 and 42053.
Other Health Insurance
The Department of Veterans Affairs now bills private health insurance companies for care received by their enrollees. You should bring your insurance card with you for your appointment and present it during the check-in process. What's in it for me?
Medicare/Medicaid
The Department of Veterans Affairs does not bill Medicare or Medicaid at this time. You may, however, wish to review information for veterans about the new Medicare prescription drug benefits.
Medicare Part D
Medicare Part D Prescription Drug Coverage is wholly voluntary on the part of the participant. Each individual must decide whether to participate based on his or her own circumstance.
- VA prescription drug coverage will not change based on your decision to participate in Medicare Part D.
- VA prescription coverage is considered by Medicare to be at least as good as Medicare Part D coverage.
