OMB Control Number: 2900–0620. 

Type of Review: Reinstatement of a 

currently approved collection. 

Abstract: 38 U.S.C. Chapter 17 

authorizes VA to provide hospital care, 

medical services, domiciliary care and 

nursing home care to eligible veterans. 

Public Law 106–117 ‘‘The Veterans 

Millennium Health Care and Benefits 

Act’’ amended 38 U.S.C. by adding 

§ 1725 establishing reimbursement 

authority for an individual who is an 

active Department health-care 

participant who is personally liable for 

emergency treatment furnished in a 

non-Department facility provided that 

the veteran is (1) enrolled in the VA 

health care system as established under 

§ 1705(a) of this title and (2) the veteran 

is personally liable for emergency 

treatment furnished the veteran in a 

non-Department facility and (3) the 

veteran does not have coverage under a 

health-plan contract that would fully 

extinguish the medical liability for the 

emergency treatment and (4) the veteran 

has no other contractual or legal 

recourse against a third party that would 

extinguish such liability to the provider 

and (5) the veteran is not eligible for 

reimbursement for medical care or 

services under § 1728 of this title. 

Further, PL 106–117 directs VA to 

delineate the circumstances under 

which such payments may be made, to 

include such requirements on 

requesting reimbursement as the 

Secretary shall establish. Subject to this,

and remedies reasonably available to the
