Health benefits are available for servicemembers of every military branch. Whether you are part of Active Duty, Reserve, Guard, or are a veteran, retiree, or family member, you can be covered by military health benefits.
The major military healthcare programs are operated through the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Department of Defense covers active duty service members and retirees from all branches of the military and their families while the Department of Veterans Affairs covers veterans and their eligible family members. Each program has different eligibility criteria, benefits packages, and financing structures.
