Is fibromyalgia treatment covered under veteran’s benefits?

If you are a veteran you can call your local Veteran’s Administration (VA) and see if they will see you under military VA codes 6399 and 6350, respectively, for undifferentiated connective tissue disease and fibromyalgia. You can also call the Veterans Center Outreach and Assistance (800) 827-1000. Veteran’s care varies widely by region, but many FMS patients report that they received excellent care at their local VA hospital, where medical professionals may be more familiar with fibromyalgia (it is often present in veterans exhibiting post-traumatic stress syndrome).
