Fed Regist. 1993 Jun 10;58(110):32445-6.
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is amending regulations which pertain to the authorization for contract non-VA hospital care and medical services for veterans. The Veterans Health Care Act of 1992 provides that veterans with a total disability permanent in nature from a service-connected disability may be authorized contract non-VA hospital care and medical services. Contract care may be authorized only if the VA facility is not capable of furnishing the care required, or is not capable of furnishing economical care or services because of geographical inaccessibility. This amendment will make the regulations consistent with the law.
美国退伍军人事务部（VA）正在修订有关授权为退伍军人提供非VA合同制医院护理和医疗服务的规定。1992年的《退伍军人医疗保健法》规定，因与服役相关的残疾而完全永久性残疾的退伍军人可被授权接受非VA合同制医院护理和医疗服务。只有在VA设施无法提供所需护理，或由于地理位置偏远而无法提供经济高效的护理或服务时，才可授权提供合同制护理。本次修订将使规定与法律保持一致。
