VA RIN: 2900-AO46 Publication ID: 2012 
Title: ●Authorization for Non-VA Medical Services 
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulations governing payment by VA for pre-authorized non-VA care for individuals, which is generally referred to as "fee basis care." VA has authority in 38 U.S.C. 1703 to provide through contract or individual authorization certain hospital care and medical services to qualified veterans in instances where VA facilities are not available or capable of providing such services due to geographical inaccessibility or lack of services. This proposed amendment would expand VA's existing regulation in accordance with amended statutory authority to remove certain limitations on VA's fee basis authority.
