Gather information about special circumstances related to your military service. There are special programs that offer complete coverage. Recent combat veterans are entitled to free coverage for a limited time. There are health benefits for children with birth defects that occurred as a result of their mother's service, veterans disabled during service, survivors of veterans and other groups.
Complete the questionnaire at the Gov Benefits website. This detailed survey is anonymous and will direct you to health insurance and other benefits to which you may be entitled.
Enroll in the Veterans Administration Health Care System. You can't apply for or receive benefits before completing enrollment. Fill out the application to determine eligibility.
Contact your local congressman or state representative to find out where to get help. Each state has service officers to assist veterans at either the county, state or regional level. You may also call the National Veterans Foundation at (888) 777-4443 for assistance.
Determine whether you meet the income threshold to qualify for health insurance from the Veterans Administration (VA). Even if you do not qualify for free insurance, you may be able to purchase health insurance through the VA.
Shop around for private insurance if you do not qualify for insurance benefits through the Veterans Administration. When talking to companies, ask if they offer discounts for veterans.
