Foreign Medical Program

Your VA benefits, across borders.

The VA's Foreign Medical Program (FMP) covers healthcare for service-connected conditions when you're outside the U.S. We're an experienced FMP provider: we handle the paperwork, coordinate with the VA, and most importantly, we never charge U.S. veterans a cent. Whether FMP covers the service or not, your cost is zero.

I have had the privilege of being under Dr. Collado's care, and I am immensely grateful for his expertise, compassion, and unwavering support. His commitment to going above and beyond for his patients has made a profound difference in my life. I extend my deepest gratitude to Dr. Collado, Lesley, their staff, and all those who have contributed to the establishment of this Veterans clinic. Thank you. Airborne all the way!
Agustin Peguero, U.S. Army
I had an amazing experience at the International Caribbean Veterans Care Clinic. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, cared for, and supported. The staff is not only professional but also compassionate, making sure every detail of my visit was handled with kindness and respect. The therapies, especially the water healing therapy, were incredibly restorative and unlike anything I’ve experienced before.
Arnulfo Lopez, U.S. Army
I was skeptical about doing PTSD work outside a VA facility. The retreat program changed my mind completely. Clinically serious, genuinely warm, and I came home a different person. My wife noticed the difference before I did.
