- Tomography (CT) scanners are covered if medical and scientific literature and opinion support the effective use of a scan for the condition, and the scan is: (1) reasonable and necessary for the individual patient; and (2) performed on a model of CT.
- A CAT scan, also known as a CT scan, is a non-invasive procedure, which combines standard x-ray with modern computer technology. During such a scan, the patient lies on a bed, which is then moved into a large, tube-like CAT scan machine. As the x-ray moves along the length of the tube, it rotates to take 360° images of the patient.

Medication copay rates
If you’re in priority group 1
You won’t pay a copay for any medications.
Note: You may be in priority group 1 if we've rated your service-connected disability at 50% or more disabling, if we've determined that you can't work because of your service-connected disability (called unemployable), or if you've received the Medal of Honor.
If you’re in priority groups 2 through 8
You'll pay a copay for:
- Medications your health care provider prescribes to treat non-service-connected conditions, and
- Over-the-counter medications (like aspirin, cough syrup, or vitamins) that you get from a VA pharmacy. You may want to consider buying your over-the-counter medications on your own.
Note: The cost for any medications you receive while staying in a VA or other approved hospital or health facility are covered by your inpatient care copay.
The amount you’ll pay for these medications will depend on the “tier” of the medication and the amount of medication you’re getting, which we determine by days of supply. Once you’ve paid $700 in medication copays within a calendar year (January 1 to December 31), you won’t have to pay any more that year—even if you still get more medications. This is called a copay cap.
| Outpatient medication tier | 1-30 day supply | 31-60 day supply | 61-90 day supply | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outpatient medication tier | Tier 1 (preferred generic prescription medicines) | 1-30 day supply | $5 | 31-60 day supply | $10 | 61-90 day supply | $15 |
| Outpatient medication tier | Tier 2 (non-preferred generic prescription medicines and some over-the-counter medicines) | 1-30 day supply | $8 | 31-60 day supply | $16 | 61-90 day supply | $24 |
| Outpatient medication tier | Tier 3 (brand-name prescription medicines) | 1-30 day supply | $11 | 31-60 day supply | $22 | 61-90 day supply | $33 |
If you have a service-connected rating of 40% or less and your income falls at or below the national income limits for receiving free medications, you may want to provide your income information to us to determine if you qualify for free medications.
Geriatric and extended care copay rates
You won't need to pay a copay for geriatric care (also called elder care) or extended care (also called long-term care) for the first 21 days of care in a 12-month period. Starting on the 22nd day of care, we'll base your copays on 2 factors:
- The level of care you're receiving, and
- The financial information you provide on your Application for Extended Care Services (VA Form 10-10EC).
