Determine Your Eligibility

Before receiving services with Veterans Affairs, you must first determine your eligibility. Use our eligibility page to make an application for health care benefits.

Schedule an Appointment

Eligible veterans should contact the VA Medical Center to schedule an appointment with a primary care provider. Getting an appointment can be done in a number of ways.

Change or Cancel an Appointment

If you have an existing appointment and cannot keep it, let us help you change it. This way, we will be able to see another veteran during that time period. Let us help you reschedule or cancel your appointment.

Lodging Options

The Minneapolis VA has limited lodging available for patients who live outside the Twin City Metro area and need a place to stay for one night or more. Also, several area hotels offer VA rates to patients and their family members.

We want to assist you in learning more about your condition, how to live a healthy lifestyle, and ways to self-manage your own health. A number of educational resources are available to you at no cost.

Patient Representatives

A number of programs have been established at this Medical Center to assist you in the event you have a concern or complaint. Let us help you resolve your issue.
