The VA Fee Schedule for calendar year (CY) 2024 is now available.
Medical services, hospital care, and extended care services are reimbursed by VA up to the maximum allowable rate – generally the applicable rate published by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). When there is no Medicare rate available, VA reimburses the lesser of the VA Fee Schedule or billed charges.
For the Community Care Network (CCN), when there is no Medicare rate available, the VA Fee Schedule dictates the maximum allowable rate where applicable. In the event neither a Medicare nor VA Fee Schedule rate is available, third-party administrators (TPAs) reimburse a percentage of billed charges.
VA calculates rates using a combination of VA claims data, Medicare policies and fee schedules, Medicaid fee schedules, TRICARE fee schedules, and industry benchmarking data.
