Purpose and Summary
Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2025
This bill includes any nurse registry as an eligible health care provider under the Veterans Community Care Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Under the bill, a nurse registry is a person who satisfies applicable state licensure requirements and procures, or attempts to procure, contracts or agreements on behalf of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, home health aides, companions, or homemakers under which such individuals may furnish health care-related or assistive services and receive compensation.
Under this bill, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs would be directed to acknowledge nurse registries as eligible providers within the Veterans Community Care Program. This would allow veterans to receive care from nurses who are part of these registries, expanding the options available to them for medical treatment.
In addition to recognizing nurse registries, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to improving the Veterans Community Care Program. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary, but may include measures to enhance access to care, improve the quality of services provided, or streamline the process for veterans to receive care through the program. Overall, Bill 119 s 635 seeks to enhance the Veterans Community Care Program by recognizing nurse registries as eligible providers and implementing other measures to improve the program's effectiveness in providing care to veterans.
