Extends and expands who can give disability exams for veterans, helping those in rural areas.
This bill would make it easier for veterans, especially those in rural areas, to get medical disability exams. It would let more types of health care professionals perform these exams and extend the program that allows temporary licenses for these providers until September 30, 2031. This aims to reduce wait times and improve access to care.
Today, a temporary program allows specific types of health care professionals to perform VA medical disability exams, but it is set to expire soon. This bill would extend that program until September 30, 2031, and expand it to include a wider range of health care professionals.
