HEALTH INSURANCE
Peace of mind about health issues is invaluable. VA employees deserve no less than our best. We'll offer you comprehensive, affordable, and flexible Health insurance.
Under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program, employees choose from Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) and Fee-for-Service health plans.
Unlike the plans offered by private employers, you'll eligible for this coverage without physical examination. There is no restriction on age or pre-existing conditions.
VA pays approximately 75 percent of your biweekly health benefit premium. Not only that, but VA offers premium conversion, allowing you to pay for your health insurance premium with pre-tax dollars.
You may be eligible to carry your health insurance into retirement.
