Bill overview
The Veterans’ Assuring Critical Care Expansions to Support Servicemembers (ACCESS) Act of 2025 aims to improve the delivery of care through the Veterans Community Care Program (VCCP) and mental health treatment programs. It establishes stricter eligibility standards for accessing non-VA care, requiring the VA to notify veterans of their eligibility within two business days and extending claims deadlines. The bill also mandates a standardized screening process for mental health treatment, tracks performance metrics for VA facilities, and creates an online module for veterans to manage appointments and appeals. Finally, it addresses telehealth options and ensures timely admission to treatment programs.
