The American Legion
Feb 18, 2021
The American Legion joined five other veteran service organizations (VSOs) in sending a letter to the newly appointed Department of Veterans Affairs Secretary Denis McDonough urging him to compel the department to reimburse veterans for emergency medical expenses incurred at non-VA facilities.
“Now that you have assumed your new leadership role, we hope you will put into practice the philosophy you espoused during your recent confirmation hearing,” states the letter dated Feb. 12. “Specifically, you stated that as VA Secretary ‘every decision I make will flow from two principles: Does the decision increase access for veterans and does it improve outcomes for vets?’ We hope this is certainly true when it comes to the VA’s reimbursement of emergency medical expenses by veterans at non-VA facilities.”
