Veterans are eligible for emergency care at non-VA facilities under certain circumstances. The 2010 Veterans Emergency Care Protective Act enables the federal VA to reimburse veterans, enrolled in federal VA health care, for the cost of emergency treatment. If non-VA emergency care is received, notification to the nearest federal VA health care facility must be made within 72 hours of hospitalization. Federal VA payment is limited up to the point that the Veteran's condition is stable for transportation to a VA approved facility.
