Title: Medical Care in Foreign Countries and Filing for Reimbursement for Community Care not Previously Authorized by VA 
Abstract:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) amends its medical regulations related to hospital care and medical services in foreign countries. We would amend the regulations to simplify and clarify the scope of these rules. We would address medical services provided to eligible veterans in the Republic of the Philippines, and remove regulations related to grants to the Republic of the Philippines that are no longer supported by statutory authority. VA also amends its medical regulations related to filing claims for reimbursement of medical expenses incurred for VA care not previously authorized.
