The Whole Health for Veterans Act limits copayments that the Department of Veterans Affairs can charge veterans for wellness services focused on preventive health and well-being. Under the bill, veterans in the highest-priority enrollment groups (1-5) are completely exempt from copayments for these services, while other veterans can be charged a monthly copayment capped at $30. The legislation defines Whole Health services to include wellness coaching, education programs, and complementary practices like yoga, meditation, and Tai Chi that promote overall health independent of treating specific medical conditions. This bill reflects Congress's intent to expand affordable access to the VA's Whole Health program, which encourages veterans to take a proactive role in managing their health and wellness. The measure was introduced in December 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
