What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Veterans Foreign Medical Coverage Equality and Modernization Act of 2025'', seeks to amend title 38 of the United States Code. It requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide hospital care and medical services to veterans with service-connected disabilities rated as permanent and total even when they are outside of a State. The bill also mandates specific methods for making reimbursements more efficient through direct deposit. Additionally, it requires the use of mobile applications for digital submission, real-time tracking, and access to important documents. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs must submit a report to Congress regarding the implementation and efficacy of these changes within two years.
