Bill > HR3088

This bill amends title 38 of the United States Code to expand the Veterans Community Care Program by explicitly including licensed hearing aid specialists as authorized providers of medical services for veterans. Specifically, the bill adds a new paragraph to the existing law that recognizes hearing aid specialists who are licensed in their state as eligible to provide services under the program. The Veterans Community Care Program allows veterans to receive medical care from providers outside the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) healthcare system under certain conditions. By adding licensed hearing aid specialists to the list of approved providers, the bill aims to increase veterans' access to hearing healthcare services and provide more flexibility in obtaining hearing aids and related medical assistance. The bill, known as the "Veterans Hearing Health Expansion Act," makes a targeted change to improve healthcare options for veterans by recognizing the important role of licensed hearing aid specialists in delivering medical services.
