Dear MR Raab:

I am pleased that you are enrolled in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health care system and am now able to notify you of your advanced priority group treatment status. You are now enrolled in:
Priority Group 5

Information about the enrollment priority groups’ advantages, privileges and medical service by rank are available on request at the address below.

Should you have any questions or feel you are in the wrong priority group and wish to appeal your classification, please contact the VA Health Benefits Service Center for assistance at the toll-free number, 1-877-222-VETS (1-877-222-8387).

If your current enrollment Priority Group 1s 4, 5, 6, or 7 and you received a Purple Heart Award, you are eligible to be reassigned to Priority Group 3.

VA is in the process of upgrading its computer system to accommodate the Purple Heart enrollment status. If you received a Purple Heart Award, please see the Enclosure for details on informing VA of your award.

Assignment to this new status will be made as soon as the required computer upgrades are completed. You will receive a separate notification when that occurs.

Should you choose to cancel your enrollment for any reason, please notify VA in writing at the following address:

VA Health Eligibility.

Thank you for enrolling with the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system. We will do our best to provide you health care that is second to none.
