Expanding Emergency Care Reimbursement for Recently Enrolled Veterans.
This bill improves eligibility rules for veterans seeking reimbursement for emergency treatment received outside VA facilities. The change ensures that veterans who recently enrolled in the VA health care system are eligible for reimbursement if the emergency treatment occurred within 60 days of their enrollment date. This aims to close a loophole that could otherwise leave veterans financially exposed during the initial enrollment period.
Key points
Veterans are now eligible for reimbursement for emergency treatment at non-VA facilities if the treatment occurred within 60 days of enrolling in the VA health care system.
