RIN: 2900-AO47

Publication ID: Spring 2013

Title: Authorization for Non-VA Medical Services
Abstract: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) published a direct final rule in the Federal Register on November 28, 2012, that would have amended its regulations regarding payment by VA for outpatient care under VA's statutory authority to provide non-VA medical care. VA sought to remove an outdated regulatory limitation on the types of veterans that are eligible to be referred for non-VA medical care.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 proposed rule (RIN 2900-AO46) containing the same amendments as the direct final rule. Because VA received adverse comments on this action, we are withdrawing the direct final rule. In a companion document in the Federal Register, VA is publishing a final rule that addresses all relevant comments.
