Copay Fairness for Veterans Act of 2026

This bill would end copayments that veterans pay the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for preventive health services, including preventive medications and over-the-counter medications. It would also end these copayments for preventive services received during hospital or nursing home care, at walk-in care clinics, and for survivors and dependents covered under VA health programs. The bill expands the legal definition of preventive health services to include recommended immunizations, services rated 'A' or 'B' by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, and certain screenings, counseling, breastfeeding supplies, contraception, and well-woman visits. The changes would take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law.
