Using VA Community Care

Dr. Likens is a VA Community Care Network provider through Optum Serve. As a veteran, you are entitled to care outside a VA facility under the MISSION Act of 2018 if you meet certain criteria. For example, you can request care from a VA Community Care Network provider if your local facility cannot provide the specialty care you need.
