    Will there be a co-pay for my care at Guthrie?

    Enrolled Veterans will be assessed copayments for care or services (including urgent care) based on their eligibility and/or income on file in the VA health care system. 通过退伍军人社区护理计划提供的护理或服务, the same copayment requirements will apply. Copayment rates are listed below. Copayments and out of pocket cost vary and can be located here. Maternity cost share amounts are available here. However, you need to advise during scheduling and registration that you want veteran benefits used.  For example, if you have both Medicare and veteran benefits but do not designate VA benefits should be used, a claim will be sent to Medicare.  Medicare does have a deductible and coinsurance.  The Federal government does not allow a patient to have both Medicare and veteran benefits billed for the same service.
