Question:

Does VA pay any benefit for non service related pacemakers? Thank you.

Jim's Reply:

VHA may take over monitoring your non-service connected pacemaker and providing battery replacements and so on...or they may not. There is no monetary disability benefit for a non-service connected pacemaker device as all rated disability benefits must have a service connection.
 

If you are an active and registered patient who receives VHA services because of a service connected and rated (0%-100%) disabling condition you are likely eligible to be referred to the VHA cardiology service near you.
 

It sounds as if you have been receiving civilian cardiology care, probably paid for by Medicare and/or your private insurer. The copays can be a challenge when we're talking about these high end medical devices and the procedures necessary to get them in our bodies. Checkups and maintenance in the future can also be expensive so it may be worth your while to talk directly with your local or regional VA clinic or hospital to learn if they can accept you as a patient. 
 

If so, you'll get good care and top shelf medical devices at no or very low cost. VA distributes a great many generic drugs but the medical devices they dispense are always brands you know...Siemens, Medtronic, Pacesetter and such so you'll get great services at a lower price.
 

Good luck sir.
