Abstract
This document affirms amendments to VA's medical regulations establishing provisions for payment or reimbursement for certain non-VA emergency services furnished to veterans for nonservice-connected conditions. Those amendments were made by an interim final rule and were necessary to implement provisions of "The Veterans Millennium Health Care and Benefits Act." Based on comments received from the public in response to the interim final rule, some changes are added for purposes of clarity.
