(404) 775-2722 Health Care Possible for Vets’ Kin ATLANTA-Survivors and dependents of certain veter ans may be eligible for medi cal care under provisions of a law which became effective Sept. 1, 1973. Georgia Veterans Service Director Pete Wheeler said that Public Law 93-82 au thorizes the VA to provide medical care for the spouse or child of a veteran who has a total and permanent service connected disability. Such care also may be authorized for the survivor or child of a veteran who dies as the result of a service-connected disabili ty. “It should be empha sized,” said Wheeler, “that while the VA authorizes the medical care for eligible per sons, the medical care will not be provided in a VA hospital or facility. “In an agreement between the VA and the Department of Defense, medical care will be furnished dependents and survivors, when authorized by the VA, under the auspices of the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uni formed Services (CHAMPUS) said Wheeler. These benefits, administered through CHAM PUS, will be known as CHAMPVA (Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Veterans Administration), and are the same benefits as those provided dependents and sur vivors of military retirees under the CHAMPUS pro gram. Although the VA deter mines the eligibility for health care benefits as provided un der Public Law 93-82, medi cal services will be performed by non-VA sources.
