DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS
AFFAIRS
Copayment for Medication
Department of Veterans Affairs.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) is hereby giving notice that
there is no change in the medication
copayment rate for calendar year 2008
and the rate will remain at $8.00. The
total amount of copayments in a
calendar year for a veteran enrolled in
one of the Priority Groups 2 through 6
shall not exceed the cap of $960.00.
These rates are based on the
Prescription Drug component of the
Medical Consumer Price Index as cited
in title 38, Code of Federal Regulations,
part 17, § 17.110.

Tony Guagliardo, Director, Business
SUMMARY:

Sfmt 4703
Policy (163), Veterans Health
Administration, 810 Vermont Avenue,
NW., Washington, DC 20420, (202) 254–
0406. (This is not a toll-free number.)
VA is
required by law to charge certain
veterans a copayment for each 30-day or
less supply of medication provided on
an outpatient basis (other than
medication administered during
treatment) for treatment of a non-service
connected condition. Public Law 106–
117, the Veterans’ Millennium Health
Care and Benefits Act, gives the
Secretary of Veterans Affairs authority
to increase the medication copayment
amount and to establish a calendar year
cap on the amount of medication
copayments charged to veterans
enrolled in Priority Groups 2 through 6.
When veterans reach the calendar year
cap, they will continue to receive
medications without additional
copayments for that calendar year.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Formula for Calculating the Medication
Copayment Amount
Each calendar year beginning after
December 31, 2002, the Prescription
Drug component of the Medical
Consumer Price Index of the previous
September 30 is divided by the Index as
of September 30, 2001. The ratio is then
multiplied by the original copayment
amount of $7.00. The copayment
amount of the new calendar year is then
rounded down to the whole dollar
amount.
Computation of Calendar Year 2008
Medication Copayment Amount
a. Prescription Drug Medical
Consumer Price Index as of September
30, 2007 = 370.9.
b. Prescription Drug Medical
Consumer Price Index as of September
30, 2001 = 304.8.
c. Index = 370.9 divided by 304.8 =
1.2168.
d. (INDEX) × $7= $8.52.
e. Copayment amount = $8.00.
Dated: January 3, 2008.
James B. Peake,
Secretary of Veterans Affairs.
