Women Veterans can now schedule appointments directly with gynecology specialists without a referral from a VA primary care provider.
WASHINGTON — The Department of Veterans Affairs today announced that women Veterans can now schedule appointments directly with VA gynecology providers without a referral from a primary care provider.
The new, streamlined process takes effect today and eliminates the previous requirement for a PCP referral to access VA gynecology care. Instead, enrolled women Veterans can schedule an appointment directly with a VA gynecology specialist if they choose.
The change will better serve the more than 1 million women Veterans who are enrolled in VA health care.
