Foreign Medical Program (FMP) Registration Form and Claim Cover Sheet

Foreign Medical Program (FMP) is a federal health benefits program for Veterans administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA). FMP is a Fee for Service (indemnity plan) program and provides reimbursement for VA adjudicated service-connected conditions. Title 38 CFR 17.35 states that the VA will provide coverage for the Veteran’s service-connected disability when the Veteran is residing or traveling overseas. VA Form 10-7959f-1, Foreign Medical Program (FMP) Registration Form, is used to register into the Foreign Medical Program those Veterans with service-connected disabilities that are living or traveling overseas. Title 38 CFR 17.125(c) states that requests for consideration of claim reimbursement from approved health care providers and Veterans are to be mailed to VHA Health Administration Center. VA Form 10-7959f-2, Foreign Medical Program Claim Cover Sheet, streamlines the claims submission process for claimants or physicians while also reducing the time spent by VA on processing FMP claims. The cover sheet will allow foreign providers and Veterans a better understanding of basic information required for the processing and payment of claims.
