Ensuring Continuity in Veterans Health Act

Sponsored By: Senator Tuberville, Tommy [R-AL]

Introduced

Summary

Continuity of care is added as an explicit factor in deciding whether care through the Veterans Community Care Program is in a veteran's best medical interest. The bill would add a new subparagraph (F) to 38 U.S.C. 1703(d)(2) so continuity of care appears among the statutory factors that guide community care decisions.

More continuity in veterans' community care
