Title: Elimination of Copayment for Weight Management Counseling | |
Abstract: This rule amends the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical regulations concerning co-payments for inpatient hospital care and outpatient medical care. More specifically, this rule designates weight management counseling (individual and group sessions) as a service that is not subject to co-payment requirements. The intended effect of this rule is to increase participation in weight management counseling by removing the co-payment barrier. This rule also amends the medical regulations by making nonsubstantive changes to correct references to statutory provisions. | |
