Excerpt

The Veteran’s Health Administration (VA) oversees the nation’s largest integrated health care system, providing health care to approximately nine million Veterans at 1243 different health care facilities.1 VA provides health care that is similar or better in quality compared to non-VA health care systems.2 In the event that a Veteran is unable to receive timely care at a VA facility, VA provides the Veteran with the option of receiving care from a non-VA provider through VA-purchased community care. Factors that currently may lead a Veteran to choose community care include a long wait time at his or her local VA facility, long geographic distance to VA providers for the care needed, or requiring care that VA does not provide (e.g., obstetrics). The VA MISSION Act of 2018, signed on June 6, 2018, established a permanent community care program for Veterans, increasing the options Veterans have for where and when they receive health care.3
