Title: Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA)--Expansion of Benefit Coverage for Enuretic Devices and Certain Prostheses and Delegations of Authority
Abstract: This document will expand beneficiary coverage for certain prostheses; e.g., noses, ears, and fingers, used in the medically necessary treatment of certain medical conditions and removes from exclusions, enuretic devices, as provided under the CHAMPVA Program. Additionally, this rule will provide clarification of the delegation of authority related to timely claim filing and the claim appeals/review process. Since Public Law 107-135 redesignates CHAMPVA authority in 38 U.S.C. 1713 to 38 U.S.C. 1781, this document will also revise the authority citations for the CHAMPVA regulations.
