To amend title 38, United States Code, to make certain improvements relating to the eligibility of veterans to receive reimbursement for emergency treatment furnished through the Veterans Community Care program, and for other purposes.
Sponsor: Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers — R — WA
Requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to reimburse veterans who receive emergency treatment from a non-department provider when such treatment was given within the 60-day period after the veteran enrolled in the VA health care system, regardless of whether the veteran has been previously treated by VA. Under current law, VA reimburses veterans who receive emergency treatment from a non-department provider if that veteran received medical care and services funded by VA during the preceding 24-month period.
