Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 38, United States Code, to limit the extent to which copayments may be required for veterans receiving Whole Health well-being services, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Whole Health for Veterans Act," aims to limit copayments for veterans receiving "Whole Health well-being services," which are defined as educational and skill-building programs that empower veterans to manage their health, as well as complementary and integrative health services like meditation and yoga that promote general well-being. While Congress encourages the Department of Veterans Affairs' Whole Health program, which currently exempts veterans in priority groups 1 through 5 from copayments, this bill would allow the Secretary to impose a monthly copayment of up to $30 for these services. However, it explicitly prohibits copayments for veterans in priority groups 1 through 5, ensuring they continue to receive these services without charge.
