<body>
<p>The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations related to the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA). The proposed revisions would clarify and update these regulations to conform to changes in law or policy that control the administration of CHAMPVA, and would include details concerning the administration of CHAMPVA that are not reflected in current regulations. The proposed revisions would also expand covered services to include certain preventive services and would reduce cost-share amounts and deductibles for certain covered services.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
