Emergency Services for NonserviceConnected Conditions in NonDepartment Facilities, 38 U.S.C. 1725.
OMB Control Number: 2900–0620.
Type of Review: Reinstatement of a

Abstract: 38 U.S.C. Chapter 17
authorizes VA to provide hospital care,

Public Law 106–117 ‘‘The Veterans
Millennium Health Care and Benefits
Act’’ amended 38 U.S.C. by adding
§ 1725 establishing reimbursement
authority for an individual who is an
active Department health-care
participant who is personally liable for
emergency treatment furnished in a
non-Department facility provided that
the veteran is (1) enrolled in the VA
health care system as established under
§ 1705(a) of this title and (2) the veteran
is personally liable for emergency
treatment furnished the veteran in a
non-Department facility and (3) the
veteran does not have coverage under a
health-plan contract that would fully
extinguish the medical liability for the
emergency treatment and (4) the veteran
has no other contractual or legal
recourse against a third party that would
extinguish such liability to the provider
and (5) the veteran is not eligible for
reimbursement for medical care or
services under § 1728 of this title.
Further, PL 106–117 directs VA to
delineate the circumstances under
which such payments may be made, to
include such requirements on
requesting reimbursement as the
Secretary shall establish. Subject to this,
