Veterans Affairs expands home town care for veterans
The Veterans Administration plans to decentralize medical care by contracting with hospitals nationwide for home town outpatient services in Kansas, Michigan, California, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, and North Carolina. A posted fee schedule is approved, and once fully in operation veterans will choose doctors from a cooperating list via VA channels, with care free to veterans and payments made through state agencies. This aims to reduce long trips for care and applies to treatments from home town physicians as well.
