VA RIN: 2900-AO46 Publication ID: Spring 2013 
Title: Authorization for Non-VA Medical Services 
Abstract: This Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) rulemaking sets forth VA's final regulations regarding payment by VA for outpatient care under VA's statutory authority to provide non-VA medical care. In the Federal Register on November 28, 2012, VA proposed to remove an outdated regulatory limitation on the types of veterans that are eligible to be referred for non-VA medical care. On the same date, VA also published a companion direct final rule that would have made the same amendments effective on January 28, 2013, if no significant adverse comments were received. Because VA received adverse comments on the direct final rule, VA is withdrawing RIN 2900-AO47 in a separate document in the Federal Register. This rulemaking includes VA's responses to relevant comments on the proposed and direct final rules.
