Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2023
This bill expands the Veterans Community Care Program by allowing veterans to access home healthcare services through nurse registries. It directly affects veterans seeking community-based care and healthcare workers (like nurses, aides, and home health providers) who connect with veterans via these registries. The key change adds specific definitions to the law, clarifying that nurse registries - entities that match healthcare workers with care opportunities while meeting state licensing rules - can now be used to provide services under the program. This update makes it easier for veterans to access a wider range of home healthcare providers through existing community care pathways.
