Bill overview
The Veterans’ Emergency Care Claims Parity Act extends the deadline for non-VA providers to submit claims for emergency treatment received by veterans from 90 to 180 days. It also establishes a ‘safe harbor’ for veterans, protecting them from liability for payment if a claim is submitted late due to an administrative error by the provider or the VA. The bill requires the VA to publish clear guidelines for non-VA providers seeking to offer emergency care to veterans, ensuring they understand the claim submission process.
