Veterans Innovation Program and Washington Basic

Washington Basic Health discusses a program called the Veterans Innovation Program (VIP) which was created back in 2006 on their website. The Washington Department of Veterans Affairs runs the program and one of the benefits is priority enrollment in Washington Basic.

Priority enrollment means that eligible members can enroll without being required to wait for available spaces. When Washington Basic receives more applications than there are spots available applicants go on a waiting list. This waiting list can last months at times, so priority enrollment is a huge benefit.

You are eligible for the Veterans Innovation Program if you are a member of the Washington National Guard, Reserves, their spouses, and dependents who have served in Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom, or Operation Noble Eagle.
