Veterans Service Officer Wayne Kleinschmidt reports there is an update for emergency care information for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
The VA has established a national emergency care contact center to simplify the emergency care notification process. Community providers must now notify VA of a veteran presenting at an emergency facility through the Community Care Centralized Notification Center.
Community providers are to promptly notify the VA of a veteran presenting for emergent care at their facility by emailing VHAEmergencyNotification@va.gov or by calling 1-844-724-7842. Case specific details will be requested during notification for care coordination and eligibility determinations. Providers are encouraged to use the Non-VA Hospital Emergency Notification form for reporting case-specific information. The form can be found at va.gov/vaforms.
