Ways You Can Help Our Nation’s Veterans

TriWest Healthcare Alliance, the administrator of The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Urgent Care and Retail Location benefit for Regions 2, 3 and 4 (see map below), would like to thank you for your commitment to provide quality health care services to our nation’s Veterans during these turbulent and uncertain times. You are on the front lines of delivering care and calming fears as COVID-19 (Coronavirus) continues to spread throughout our country. As you continue to provide these necessary services to Veterans, there are a few things to know:

• VA will support TriWest-contracted Urgent Care/Retail Location visits via telemedicine where clinically appropriate. 
• TriWest will pay for HCPCS code (U0001) and code (U0002) to cover the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2019 Novel Coronavirus Real Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Test.
• Stay informed through TriWest by visiting the TriWest COVID-19 Resource Page for providers.
