DVA’s new quick guide offers support with item numbers to use with your First Nations veteran patients.

DVA has released a two-page printable quick guide designed to help general practitioners and other primary care providers navigate the item numbers available when treating First Nation veterans. 

The guide outlines some of the item numbers available to First Nations veterans and the appropriate MBS and DVA item numbers for billing. It also includes an example of what billing may look like for a fictional First Nations veteran over the course of a year. 

We encourage you to use the First Nations Veterans Claiming Quick Guide to enhance your understanding of the item numbers available for First Nations veterans. 

DVA is committed to ensuring providers have clear, accessible information to deliver high quality care to veterans and families of veterans. You can access the full range of DVA quick guides and tools on the DVA website.
