You will be required to use The Foreign Medical Program FMP the same as the rest of us SC Vets here. https://www.va.gov/directory/guide/facility.asp?id=682 I used to live on the beach. I moved closer inland because all my electronic items were getting destroyed from the salt air. Annual flights back to the U.S. are becoming quite expensive. Thanks, funny part is you click on the link, then click on the VA's FMP link and its a broken link. Oh the VA, it's not the people but the network communication between all their different computer systems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Does the FMP let me then see a Therapist in the Philippines? Since I'm service connected for PTSD and see one here in the states, I assume that covers the meds I get also?
