Veterans’ Mental Health Access Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to provide inpatient treatment for mental health conditions, such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, or substance abuse, to eligible veterans. The treatment could be given at a Department of Veterans Affairs medical center or through the Veterans Community Care Program. The Secretary would have to provide this care within 24 hours after a veteran asks for it or a health care provider prescribes it. Every six months, the Department would have to post a report online on wait times for this care.
