After three years, the pilot program is intended to become a permanent solution, giving veterans more control over their treatment.
Key points
Veterans will be able to choose doctors and medical facilities outside their local VA network.
The pilot program will run for three years, after which the healthcare choice rules are intended to become permanent.
Veterans will have access to information on costs, treatments, and available providers to make informed decisions.
The act does not authorize additional funds; the program will be carried out using existing budgets.
