More About Vet & Family Member Program
The VFMP - CHAMPVA app uses several different medical code sets to determine if services and/or equipment are covered. Over 487,000 individual medical codes are listed in the included databases. Medical code sets include:
American Dental Association (ADA) codes, which describe dental services. ADA coding identifies services rendered.
Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes, which describe medical, surgical, and diagnostic services. CPT coding identifies services rendered.
ICD-10 codes, which relate to the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD). It contains codes for diseases, signs and symptoms, abnormal findings, complaints, social circumstances, and external causes of injury or diseases. The CHAMPVA app uses ICD-10-CM data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).
The Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes, which provide a standardized coding system for describing the specific items and services provided in the delivery of health care. Such coding is necessary for CHAMPVA, Medicare, Medicaid, and other health insurance programs to ensure that insurance claims are processed in an orderly and consistent manner.
Durable Medical Equipment (DME) codes refer to equipment that can withstand repeated use, is primarily used to serve a medical purpose, is generally not useful in the absence of an illness or injury and is appropriate for use in the home. DME codes are included with HCPCS Codes.
The national drug codes (NDC) are unique 10-digit, three segment numerical codes that identify drugs intended for human use. The first segment is a 4 to 5 digit, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) assigned labeler code to identify the firm that manufactures or distributes a drug. The second segment is the product code, which identifies the drug, including the specific strength, dosage form, and formulation. The third segment, the package code, identifies package sizes and types.
For billing purposes an 11-digit 5-4-2 format code is used based on the NDC code. The CHAMPVA app uses the information published by the FDA and converts the NDC code to the billing code.
Medical codes are searchable via the alphanumeric code, name or description.
Once a desired medical code is identified, a patient or provider may select it to determine if it is Covered by CHAMPVA. Results DO NOT constitute an authorization by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for any purchase.
The CHAMPVA program guide is included that provides a more detailed explanation of CHAMPVA benefits. The CHAMPVA Guide contains links to applicable websites as well as phone numbers that can be called from your phone by tapping on the number. This guide is searchable via the table of contents as well as by the index. For convenience a Portable Document Format (pdf) version is also included.
The VFMP - CHAMPVA app also includes a facility locator that allows searching by type of facility to find providers near you out of the over 2400 VA facilities nationwide. Additionally, providers and pharmacies that participate in the VA Community Care Program may be searched to ensure that you get the best care possible.

Whats the purpose of knowing if Champva covers a procedure? Are you going to ask thr doctor to wait while you check each code beforehand? Would you deny a procedure that you needed? Seems like a useless app conceived by the planet's largest and most bundleing beuracracy

I was requested by the VA to download CHAMPVA PAY on my phone but for some reason I can’t pick the type of device I’m using. It shows QUANTA QTAQZ3 as my device and I’ve got a IPHONE XS MAX I have no idea how to change it either so I’m hoping someone can help me

I input the code and my answer pops up! Being trained in coding makes it very easy to navigate this app. Thank you to the developers at the VA!!

Finding a facility is confusing, are we using the link that says Community Care? That is a veteran benefit and not associated with ChampVA? It's not clear how to use the app at least not to me.

Just like many VA items, this app is pointless. Does not recognize that I accepted the EULA terms on my Galaxy phone. Does not work as advertised. If they had 0 stars I would give it a zero. As an after thought, try to find providers in Palm Beach County that actually accept Champva. Of course everyone takes Medicare, and of course undocumented aliens get treatment.

Not helpful, since I don't have a degree in medical coding. Just as useless as calling to ask about coverage.

Somewhat misleading in title. What is needed is an app or website where CHAMPVA beneficiaries can check status of and monitor claims submitted by provders to ensure accuracy. VA has apps/websites for most everything else. Would decrease unneeded and mostly futile phone calls to central number for information.

This app is useless. Give me a way to talk or email someone for questions and such. At least the apps for the veterans allow you to send emails and stuff. But not their family?

I got feedback from the VA's app development team, and they failed to actually address my comment. They say it's for verifying benefits. I would still say this app is useless as it doesn't provide information on the status of health services claims. It can't be used to submit healthcare claims. For some reason, they thought that I was talking about disability claims. I don't know why, because that's a different app. I think it's an attempt at obfuscation through intentional omission.

Handy app. Have to learn how to use it of course. Like what I see so far. Section 2 has a lot of text that has been darkened out and there is no explanation as to why. Overall good.

This was an amazing and helpful app (5 stars), but since the last update, it's completely unusable. All of the buttons are hidden, and I cannot click any of them. I hope they go back to the previous version, or fix it soon.

Really excited that there is an app now however, it is unusable on my Samsung Galaxy S25+ There is a menu bar that goes all way across the top that just says CHAMPVA, and it covered a link that says Code Types. The bottom bar buttons in the app are underneath the android system navigation buttons, so they are very hard to use, only the very top of the bottons are high enough to click on. Hopefully this can get updated and fixed. Running Android 15 One UI version 7 if that helps the devs.
