Veterans who are currently enrolled in VA St. Louis Health Care System and have an assigned VA Primary Care Provider can start the process by contacting their provider through MyHealtheVet and requesting a Catastrophically Disabled Veteran Evaluation, or they can call the Enrollment Coordinator, Mr. Darrell Hollway, at 314-652-4100, ext. 54165. If you know a Veteran who may benefit from this program and is not enrolled in VA health care let them know about this program and that they or their caregiver/representative should request a Catastrophically Disabled Veteran Evaluation by calling the Enrollment Coordinator their nearest VA hospital. This is especially important if the Veteran’s enrollment was deferred in VA’s health care system due to an existing administrative enrollment restriction, such as Priority Group 8e or 8g. For more information about priority groups, go here: VA Priority Groups | Veterans Affairs It is VHA policy to provide, upon request, a Catastrophically Disabled Veteran Evaluation within 30 days of such request. There is no charge for this evaluation.
Each VA medical center has a Catastrophically Disabled Veteran enrollment coordinator. If the VA St. Louis Health Care System is not your nearest site, call 1-877-222-8387 or visit www.va.gov/find-locations to find the location of the closest VA facility.
