Veterans’ Assuring Critical Care Expansions to Support Servicemembers (ACCESS) Act of 2025

Bill 119 s 275, also known as the Veterans Community Care Program Improvement Act, aims to enhance the care and services provided to veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Community Care Program. The bill seeks to address various issues within the program and make improvements to better serve veterans.

One key aspect of the bill is to streamline the process for veterans to access care through the Community Care Program. This includes improving the coordination between the VA and community providers, as well as ensuring timely and efficient access to care for veterans. The bill also aims to enhance the quality of care provided to veterans by establishing standards for community providers and implementing mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating the care they deliver.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions to expand the types of services available to veterans through the Community Care Program. This includes mental health services, substance abuse treatment, and other specialized care that may not be readily available within the VA system. The bill also seeks to improve access to telehealth services for veterans, allowing them to receive care remotely when necessary. Overall, Bill 119 s 275 is focused on improving the provision of care and services under the Veterans Community Care Program in order to better meet the needs of veterans and ensure they receive the high-quality care they deserve.
