Veterans Care Agreements

The Department of Veterans Affairs revised its medical regulations to implement VA’s authority under section 102 of the John S. McCain III, Daniel K. Akaka, and Samuel R. Johnson VA Maintaining Internal Systems and Strengthening Integrated Outside Networks Act of 2018, which authorizes VA to enter into agreements to furnish required hospital care, medical services and extended care services in the community when such care and services are not feasibly available to certain individuals through a VA facility, a contract or a sharing agreement
