S 1853 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Parity for Native Hawaiian Veterans Act of 2025

This bill requires the VA to reimburse Native Hawaiian health care systems for medical care provided to eligible veterans, regardless of whether care is delivered directly, through referrals, or via contracts. It directly affects Native Hawaiian veterans (defined under the Native Hawaiian Health Care Improvement Act) and the health care systems serving them. Key provisions mandate full reimbursement for covered care and exempt these veterans from cost-sharing under VA programs. The bill aims to ensure Native Hawaiian veterans receive equal access to VA medical benefits as other veteran groups.
