HR 9177 United States House · 118th Congress

Foreign Medical Program Modernization Act of 2024

This bill modernizes the VA's Foreign Medical Program by removing the requirement that veterans must have a service-connected disability to receive overseas medical care. It directly affects veterans seeking treatment abroad who previously needed a disability link to their military service. Key changes include enabling electronic fund transfers for reimbursements and directing the VA to assess contracting with non-VA providers to build a care network. These provisions aim to simplify access and improve administrative efficiency for veterans receiving foreign medical care under the program.
