VA travel pay (BTSSS) — one page
- Enroll in VA health care first. Mileage is not a random civilian ER visit.
- File in BTSSS on VA.gov for VA or authorized community-care appointments.
- Keep the appointment letter. VA publishes a filing deadline — confirm it on their page.
- A text that wants a gift card to “release mileage” is a scam.
- Special mode (ambulance) has extra rules. Call the facility travel office.
