Women Veterans Specialty Care Access Act

This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to allow women veterans to directly schedule appointments for women's specialty care without needing a referral from a primary care provider. The law applies to all women veterans enrolled in the VA system who are eligible for services such as gynecology, obstetrics, maternity, and postpartum care. Under the bill, these appointments must be available through VA medical centers, clinics, and online or telephone scheduling tools without additional administrative barriers. The provision does not change existing eligibility requirements for receiving VA healthcare services.
