An unknown party has set up a phone line that may be intended to deceptively reach veterans trying to contact the Veterans Choice Program (VCP), according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans attempting to reach the VA program that allows them to receive health care in their own communities, may be mistakenly calling a "mimic" phone line, which is an 800 number, rather than the correct toll free line, which features an 866 area code. For information about the Veterans Choice Program, visit the official Veterans Choice Program website or call 1-866-606-8198.
