1. can any one tell us what does Champva cover when it comes to inpatient hospital coverage?

My question is does the 10 year period start in 2004 or now?

Should I file claims after these surgeries i.e joint replacements or just not notify anyone of the surgeries? Thank you all for any input on this matter.
