The Foreign Medical Program (FMP) is a health care benefits program designed for US Veterans with Veterans Affairs-rated service-connected conditions that are residing or traveling abroad (Canada and Philippines excluded). Under FMP, VA assumes payment responsibility for certain necessary medical services associated with the treatment of these service-connected conditions. The FMP database stores necessary information about Veterans eligible for foreign payment or reimbursement. Included is information about the services used and expenses incurred. FMP shares files with CHAMPVA (Civilian Health and Medical Program of VA) Eligibility & Payment Functions (CVA), and resides on the same server at the Health Administration Center (HAC) at Denver, Colorado. The HAC is a division of the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Chief Business Office.

Administered by the Health Administration Center (HAC), Denver, Colorado, CHAMPVA shares the cost of necessary health care services and supplies with eligible beneficiaries. The CHAMPVA Eligibility & Payment Functions (CVA) database is used by HAC for the administration of the CHAMPVA program.
