Programs for veterans include:

• Foreign medical Program: providing payment for services to veterans for the treatment of service-connected disabilities while living or traveling abroad
• Non-VA (Fee) care: providing service to veterans for the treatment of service-connected disabilities when care is not available at a VHA medical facility

The HAC provides leadership and management of program and initiatives to include:

• VistA Fee Replacement system, designed to centralize claims processing and establish a centralized database
• Delegated Examining Organization (DEO)

• National recovery Audit
• Graphic design support (including translating and publishing multi-lingual documents)

The HAC also spearheads a comprehensive communications mix for external customers, to include offering State Veterans Service Officer training, beneficiary briefings, and establishing contacts at national conventions.
