Bill information
Summary
To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to establish a pilot program to provide veteran health savings accounts to allow veterans to receive primary care furnished under non-Department direct primary care service arrangements, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to create a pilot program offering health savings accounts to veterans. These accounts would let veterans pay for primary care—routine doctor visits and basic health services—from non-VA providers outside the Department of Veterans Affairs. Primary care means first-contact medical treatment for common health issues. The bill is currently in the introduced stage, meaning it has been formally submitted to Congress but has not yet been assigned to a for review.
