Bill information
Summary
To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to furnish inpatient treatment under the Veterans Community Care Program for a mental health condition, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to cover inpatient mental health treatment through its Veterans Community Care Program, which pays for veterans to receive care from non-VA providers in their communities. Currently, the program primarily covers outpatient (non-hospital) care. The bill would expand coverage to include hospital-level mental health treatment. The bill was introduced by Representative Lauren Boebert and is currently in the early stage of the legislative process.
