HR 5261 United States House · 119th Congress

Veterans Emergency Care Reimbursement Act of 2025

This bill modifies reimbursement rules for veterans receiving emergency care at non-VA facilities. It ensures veterans with private health insurance won't be charged more than $100 for copayments on emergency treatment claims, excluding deductibles or coinsurance. The change applies to all claims submitted since February 2012, including those from the Wolfe v. McDonough class action case. This directly affects veterans who had private insurance coverage when seeking emergency care outside VA facilities.
