TREAT PTSD VA Act
The TREAT PTSD VA Act authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide stellate ganglion block therapy to veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. To qualify for this treatment, a veteran must be enrolled in the VA patient system, have a confirmed PTSD diagnosis, and choose the procedure after receiving information about its risks and benefits from a qualified healthcare provider. The bill requires the VA to update its clinical practice guidelines within 180 days to include this therapy option and notify Congress of the changes. This legislation affects veterans seeking PTSD treatment and the VA medical facilities or contracted providers administering the care.
