2. No Affiliation With the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Veterans Future Wellness Center is not a government agency and is not owned, operated, endorsed, authorized, or affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”), the VA Foreign Medical Program (“FMP”), or any other agency or instrumentality of the United States government.
References to the VA, VA FMP, veterans’ benefits, or related programs on this website are provided for informational and administrative purposes only.
VFWC does not control VA eligibility determinations, benefit decisions, claim processing, reimbursement decisions, or payment timelines.
3. VA Foreign Medical Program
VFWC may assist eligible veterans with administrative aspects of the VA Foreign Medical Program, including document organization, claim preparation, submission support, follow-up, and related navigation services where authorized.
However:
VFWC does not determine whether a veteran qualifies for VA FMP.
VFWC does not determine whether a medical condition is service-connected.
VFWC does not determine whether a particular treatment, service, appointment, or product is reimbursable.
VFWC cannot guarantee VA approval of a claim.
VFWC cannot guarantee reimbursement.
VFWC cannot guarantee that a claim will be approved on its first submission.
VFWC cannot guarantee a specific reimbursement amount or processing time.
Any reimbursement remains subject to VA rules, eligibility requirements, documentation, medical necessity, applicable billing requirements, and the VA’s independent determination.
Any information provided by VFWC regarding potential VA FMP reimbursement is informational and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of coverage or payment.

This may include:

- Veteran identification or eligibility information
- VA FMP information

5. Healthcare Services
Healthcare services are provided only when clinically appropriate and by appropriately qualified and licensed professionals, subject to applicable laws and regulations.
The availability of a specific treatment or modality is not guaranteed.
Treatment decisions are based on individual clinical circumstances and may differ from information presented on the website.
Information published on the website is not a substitute for an examination, diagnosis, treatment plan, or professional medical advice from an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.
No information on this website should be interpreted as creating a physician-patient, therapist-patient, or other healthcare-provider relationship merely because you access or read the website.
A provider-client relationship is established only when VFWC or an affiliated healthcare provider formally accepts you for services in accordance with applicable policies and procedures.
6. Individualized Treatment Plans
Where applicable, VFWC may develop or coordinate an Individualized Medical Treatment Plan (“IMTP”) or similar individualized care plan.
An IMTP is based on the individual’s clinical circumstances and may include multiple healthcare or wellness services.
The inclusion of a service in an IMTP does not automatically establish that the service is covered or reimbursable by the VA FMP.
Services obtained outside an approved treatment plan, without required authorization, or for conditions not covered under the applicable VA determination may not be reimbursable and may remain the individual’s financial responsibility.
7. Telehealth
VFWC may offer or coordinate telehealth services where permitted by applicable law, provider licensure, clinical appropriateness, technology availability, privacy requirements, and payer rules.
Telehealth availability may vary depending on your location.
You understand that telehealth has limitations, including possible technical interruptions, connectivity problems, limitations associated with remote assessment, and circumstances in which an in-person examination may be necessary.
VFWC may determine that an in-person evaluation or alternative form of care is more appropriate.
8. Emergency Medical Situations
VFWC does not provide emergency medical services.
If you are experiencing a medical emergency, serious injury, suicidal crisis, or other situation requiring immediate assistance, contact the appropriate local emergency medical service or proceed to the nearest emergency department.
Do not rely on this website, email, telephone messages, appointment requests, or VFWC administrative communications for emergency assistance.
VFWC is not responsible for delays or outcomes resulting from a person’s failure to obtain appropriate emergency medical care.
9. Appointments and Scheduling
Appointment availability is subject to provider availability, clinical appropriateness, location, licensing requirements, operational capacity, and applicable payer requirements.
Submitting an appointment request does not guarantee that an appointment will be scheduled.
VFWC may reschedule, modify, or cancel an appointment when reasonably necessary.
Clients are expected to attend scheduled appointments or provide reasonable notice when they are unable to attend.
Repeated missed appointments, late cancellations, or failure to provide required information may affect future scheduling or service availability.
10. Fees, Payments, and Financial Responsibility
VFWC may seek reimbursement from applicable third-party payers or programs, including the VA FMP, where appropriate.

If VFWC offers medical equipment, therapeutic products, wellness products, or other items through an online store, additional terms may apply to those purchases.
Product availability, pricing, shipping, returns, warranties, eligibility, and reimbursement guidance may be subject to separate policies.
The purchase of a product does not guarantee reimbursement by the VA, VA FMP, insurance provider, or any other third party.
Any reimbursement remains subject to the applicable payer’s independent determination.
