- Apply on VA.gov, by phone, or at a medical center. Keep the confirmation.
- Ask which priority group you are in. That group decides copays and how the queue treats you.
- Combat veterans have a special enrollment period after discharge — do not sleep through it.
- Community Care is a later conversation, after you are enrolled.
