Title: Technical Corrections to Conform to Public Law 104-262 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its medical regulations by making technical corrections to conform to the Veterans' Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996 (Act of 1996). Prior to the Act of 1996, a VA regulation stated that veterans received only VA hospital care to treat medical conditions that were incurred in service. We are amending our regulation to correctly state that VA provides hospital care and medical services to eligible veterans.
