Enrollment
How do I become a patient?
Who is Eligible?
Enrollment is an open process designed to provide access for veterans to a comprehensive package of VA health care services. Any man or woman who was honorably discharged from the United States military prior to September 1980 is an eligible veteran. Individuals discharged after September 1980 must meet the following criteria:
-
Must have been honorably discharged
-
Must have completed at least two years of active duty (exceptions include Early Out, Hardship & Disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty).
How Do I Enroll?
-
You can enroll in person at our North Clinic.
-
You can enroll electronically by completing the Online 10-10EZ form.
-
You can also enroll by mailing or faxing the completed 10-10EZ form to the North Clinic at (702) 636-3007. To speed the enrollment process please also mail or fax a copy of your DD-214 or Honorable Discharge Certificate. You will also be asked to fill out a new supplemental form on Race and Ethnicity.
-
For assistance you may also contact your Veteran Service Officer. For telephone listings please consult your local phone book under "Nevada State Offices," also look for "Veterans Affairs".
What Materials Will I Need for Enrollment?
You will need a valid photo Identification Card and a copy of your DD-214 Report of Separation (or equivalent form). If you do not have access to this form, you can go to the National Archives for instructions on how to obtain a copy. The enrollment system requires that veterans provide the VA with a "means" test annually detailing their gross income and assets. This includes income for a veteran's spouse and dependent children. Dependent information includes having spouses full name, social security number, date of birth, and bring in the marriage certificate. For dependent children, have their full name, social security number, and their date of birth.
Will There Be Any Costs For Health Care?
See the Copayments and Charges web site.
