Returning Service Members (OEF/OIF/OND)
Welcome Home Veterans! Thank You For Your Service. The VA Sunshine Healthcare Network (VISN 8) is grateful to the men and women who risk their lives in Afghanistan and many other places around the world. We are honored to serve our nation's military service members and offer a wide range of health care services for returning combat Veterans. 5 years from discharge, free combat related care Veterans have five years from their date of discharge to receive free health care for any combat-related condition. After the five years, co-payments will depend on whether your illness or injury is determined to be service-connected. Free Dental Treatment Combat Veterans may receive one-time dental treatment if they were not provided treatment within 90 days before separation from active duty. They must apply within 180 days of their separation date. The time limit does not apply to Veterans with dental conditions resulting from service-connected wounds or injuries.
