Bill Summary

Relative to emergency medical transportation provided to veterans. Veterans and Federal Affairs.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to add a new section to Chapter 115 of Massachusetts General Laws that requires the department of veteran services to consider fully reimbursing emergency medical transportation expenses for veterans with a 100% disability rating. Specifically, veterans with total disability status would be eligible for reimbursement for emergency medical transportation to local hospitals or Veterans Affairs (VA) hospitals, with the understanding that the veteran must provide proof of their disability status within a reasonable timeframe, taking into account their medical condition. This provision aims to provide financial support for veterans with severe service-connected disabilities who require emergency medical transportation, potentially reducing the out-of-pocket healthcare-related expenses for this vulnerable population.
