Summary of Bill HR 874
Bill 119 hr 874, also known as the "Veterans Community Care Program Modification Act," aims to make changes to the rate of pay for care or services provided under the Community Care Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The bill specifically focuses on adjusting the rate of pay based on the location where the care or services are provided.
Currently, the VA's Community Care Program allows veterans to receive care from non-VA providers if they are unable to access VA facilities or if the VA cannot provide the necessary care in a timely manner. However, the rate of pay for these services is the same regardless of where the care is provided, leading to disparities in costs based on location.
The proposed changes in Bill 119 hr 874 seek to address this issue by modifying the rate of pay for care or services provided under the Community Care Program based on the location at which the care is provided. This would ensure that veterans receive fair and equitable compensation for the care they receive, regardless of where they live. In addition to adjusting the rate of pay, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the Community Care Program. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary, but may include improvements to access, quality, or efficiency of care for veterans. Overall, Bill 119 hr 874 aims to improve the Community Care Program of the VA by addressing disparities in the rate of pay for care or services provided based on location. This could potentially lead to better access to care for veterans and ensure that they receive the quality services they deserve.
