Bill overview
This bill, the Addressing Care Timelines for Veterans Act, aims to speed up access to emergency care for veterans. It extends the timeframe for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to authorize emergency treatment received at non-VA medical facilities. Specifically, veterans applying for authorization within 96 hours of admission will have their care deemed authorized, compared to the current 72-hour window. This change applies to veterans enrolled in the VA healthcare system or those eligible due to a service-connected disability.
