§1095a Medical Care: Members Held as Captives and Their Dependents

Summary

The appropriate Secretary must pay (either up front or by reimbursing later) health care costs and other expenses tied to that care for a former captive and for their dependents or for dependents of someone still in captive status. The care must be connected to the captive experience and must not be covered by any other government medical or health program or by insurance. If a person is eligible for care under sections 1074 or 1076, the rules must, when practical, have that care given in a uniformed‑services medical facility. “Captive status” and “former captive”: defined in section 559 of title 37. “Dependent”: defined in section 551 of that title.
