VA RIN: 2900-AO91 Publication ID: Fall 2014 
Title: Copayments for Medications in 2014 
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending its medical regulations concerning the copayment required for certain medications. Without this rulemaking, beginning on January 1, 2014, the copayment amount would increase based on a formula set forth in regulation. The maximum annual copayment amount payable by veterans would also increase. This rulemaking freezes copayments at the current (2013) rate for 2014 for veterans in priority categories 2 through 8, and thereafter resumes increasing copayments in accordance with the regulatory formula.
