HR 10012 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend title 38, United States Code, to include eyeglass lens fittings in the category of medical services authorized to be furnished to veterans under the Veterans Community Care Program, and for other purposes.

HR 10012 amends the Veterans Community Care Program to include eyeglass lens fittings as an authorized medical service for veterans. This directly affects veterans enrolled in the program who need eyeglass fittings through non-VA providers. The bill requires the VA Secretary to establish regulations ensuring veterans can schedule these fittings at nearby community providers. The VA must also submit a report to Congress within 180 days detailing implementation progress, challenges, and veteran benefits. This changes the scope of covered services without altering eligibility or funding mechanisms.
