Veterans Prosthetics Advancement and Reform Act

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to create a list, called a Formulary, of prosthetic and rehabilitative items and services it provides to veterans. The VA would have to ask veterans and the public for input, base the list on the best available evidence, and make listed items available at or through all VA facilities. The VA would publish the list online, update it periodically, tell veterans how to appeal decisions, and offer training to staff. The bill would also set up a process for VA clinicians to provide items not on the list when medically necessary, and the VA would monitor those requests.
