Standardizing Veterans' Access to Prosthetics and Rehabilitation Services Nationwide.
This law mandates the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to establish a standardized, nationwide list (Formulary) of prosthetic and rehabilitative items available across all VA facilities. This ensures veterans receive consistent and transparent access to necessary medical equipment, regardless of their location. Veterans retain the right to appeal decisions and can still receive non-listed items if deemed medically necessary.
Key points
Creation of a nationwide, standardized list (Formulary) of prosthetic and rehabilitative items available at all VA facilities.
Veterans and the public must provide input on which items are included in the standardized list.
A clear process is established for veterans to receive specialized, non-listed items when deemed medically necessary by a clinician.
