Medical benefits; recovery of the cost of certain health care--Veterans Administration. Proposed regulations.
The Veterans Administration is proposing to amend its regulations to provide for reimbursement of medical costs in certain cases. The Veteran's Health Care, Training, and Small Business Act of 1981 provides statutory authority for seeking reimbursement for care and services furnished veterans for a nonservice-connected disability where entitlement to such care exists under workers' compensation plans or programs, uninsured motorists' insurance or a Uniform Crime Victims Reparation statute. The Act also requires that the Administrator prescribe regulations for determining the reasonable cost of such case and services.
