Abstract
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adopts as final, with changes, a proposed rule to amend its medical regulations regarding Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) coverage to remove the exclusion for audio-only telehealth, remove current quantitative limitations on mental health/ substance use disorder coverage, remove the current requirement for pre-authorization for outpatient mental health visits in excess of 23 per calendar year and/or more than two (2) sessions per week, and exempt certain contraceptive services and prescription and nonprescription contraceptive products that are approved, cleared, or granted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) from cost sharing requirements.
