Veterans Full-Service Care and Access Act of 2025

This bill requires the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) to ensure that veterans eligible for VA hospital care in each of the 48 contiguous states can receive treatment at a VA full-service hospital located within that state. If no VA hospital is available in a state, the VHA must contract with other healthcare providers to offer comparable services. The law also clarifies that veterans may still receive care at VA facilities in other states if needed, and mandates a report to Congress within one year on implementation progress and impacts on care quality. It directly affects veterans seeking VA hospital care across 48 states, with no changes to eligibility criteria.
