HR 9478 United States House · 118th Congress

Veterans SPORT Act

This bill expands Veterans Affairs medical coverage to include adaptive prosthetics and terminal devices designed for sports and recreational activities. It directly affects veterans who use prosthetic devices for non-medical purposes like sports participation. The key change amends existing law to explicitly add "adaptive prostheses and terminal devices for sports and other recreational activities" to the list of covered medical services. This ensures veterans can access these specialized devices under VA care without additional out-of-pocket costs.
