Bill > S2184

This bill: Establishes the Veterans Community Care Program to allow veterans to receive hospital care, medical services, and extended care services from non-Department of Veterans Affairs providers when certain conditions are met, such as when a VA facility does not offer the required services or cannot schedule an appointment within established access standards. The bill also requires the VA to develop quality and access standards, enter into agreements with non-VA providers, and ensure continuity of care. Additionally, the bill streamlines community care programs, improves information sharing with providers, enhances VA personnel practices, establishes new pilot programs, and authorizes appropriations and funding for VA health care and services.
