Camp Springs VA Clinic - getting there Southern Prince George's Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC) (Veterans Transportation and Beneficiary Travel)

Veterans Transportation Service (VTS) is a new initiative to help veterans get to and from their VA appointments. DC Veterans Affairs Medical Center is using VTS to help veterans overcome transportation barriers to treatment because of the impact to them of the Greenbelt clinic realignment. VTS offers door to clinic pick up and focuses on Veterans who are visually impaired, elderly, or immobilized due to disease or disability. In addition to VTS, beneficiary travel (BT) is available to those who qualify. BT offers mileage reimbursement or special mode transportation in association with obtaining VA health care services.

If you meet the criteria below, you may be eligible for mileage reimbursement or special mode transportation in association with obtaining VA health care services. You qualify if:

• You have a service-connected (SC) rating of 30 percent or more, or

• You are traveling for treatment of a SC condition, or

• You receive a VA pension, or

• Your income does not exceed the maximum annual VA pension rate ($12,868), or

• You are traveling for a scheduled compensation and pension examination.
