Easier Access to Overseas Medical Care for Veterans
This act aims to simplify veterans' access to medical care outside the United States by removing the requirement for a service-connected disability. It also introduces electronic fund transfers for reimbursements and explores partnerships with private entities to streamline healthcare provision. This will broaden veterans' access to necessary care, regardless of the nature of their conditions.
Key points
Veterans can receive medical care abroad, even if their condition is not service-connected.
Reimbursements for medical expenses can be processed faster via electronic fund transfers.
The government will assess partnering with private companies to build a network of overseas medical facilities for veterans, potentially reducing administrative burdens.
