Welcome Home OEF/OIF Veterans! Thank you for your service.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has worked with the Department of Defense (DoD) to make your transition from military life to civilian life as easy as possible. The staff, volunteers, and stakeholders at Bay Pines VA Healthcare System are committed to providing you with the health care you need and deserve.

Enrollment and Eligibility
Combat veterans receive an exemption from copays (regardless of income level) for conditions possibly related to combat military service during the five year post discharge period. After the two years you may be responsible for a copay but this depends on whether your illness or injury is found to be service-connected. All veterans are encouraged to enroll in the VA Health Care System. To begin the process, please complete an Application for Health Care Benefits. Please feel free to contact our Eligibility Office  at (727) 398-6661 or the OEF/OIF Program Office at the contact numbers in the right column.
