Veterans with early Alzheimer's who meet certain VHA criteria can get the treatment covered, according to Eisai.
In a statement, Eisai said veterans in the early stages of the disease who meet VHA criteria are eligible for coverage of Leqembi. The company did not provide further details on what those criteria are.
The VHA is the largest health system in the country, providing care for veterans at nearly 1,300 facilities nationwide. The system serves 9 million veterans annually. Nearly 168,000 veterans had Alzheimer's disease in 2022, according to federal estimates.
