§2559 Provision of medical care to foreign military and diplomatic personnel: reimbursement required; waiver for provision of reciprocal services

Summary

The Secretary of Defense must make sure the United States is paid back when the Department gives inpatient medical care in the United States to foreign military or diplomatic personnel or their family members. Any money paid back must go into the same Defense accounts that paid for the care. The Secretary can choose not to charge for such care if the foreign country provides similar inpatient care, without charge, to a similar number of U.S. military members and their family members in that country.
