Title: ●Charges Billed to Third Parties for Prescription Drugs Furnished by VA to a Veteran for a Nonservice-Connected Disability
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend the regulations concerning collection or recovery by VA for medical care or services provided or furnished by VA to a veteran for a nonservice-connected disability. More specifically, we propose to amend the regulations regarding charges billed for prescription drugs not administered during treatment by changing the billing formula to reflect actual VA drug costs for each drug instead of a national average drug cost for all prescriptions dispensed. The formula would also continue to include an average administrative cost for each prescription. This is intended to provide a more accurate method for billing.
