How VA rates work

Three things to know before quoting any number on this page:

These are maximums, not going rates. VA publishes the most it will pay a community provider for each service — a ceiling. Actual contracted rates are negotiated and usually land below it. That's why every figure here says "up to."
Rates vary by region. VA divides the country into payment regions — most states have one, big states have several (California alone has about thirty). Your ceiling is your region's, so the state pages list every region separately.
Services are billed in different time chunks. Some services pay per 15 minutes, some per hour, some per visit or per day. We label every rate with how it's billed and never compare rates billed in different chunks — where it helps, we also show the hourly math spelled out.
