Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to revise its medical regulations to add chiropractic services to the definitions of medical services and preventive care. VA would further revise the definition of medical services to include rehabilitative services consistent with its statutory definition and to reflect changes made in other VA medical regulations and in prior legislation not previously codified. The proposed amendments would make VA medical regulations consistent with current practices, prior changes in law and VA's medical regulations, and changes in law made by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018. These amendments would not substantively change the current administration of medical benefits to veterans.

The agency’s own summary, as published.
