Wilma Ann Plcard Judge, Warm Springs Tribal Court -Zip. or 1st Class in the U.S. I J The Indian Warrior - The Veterans Comer The Right Care, The Right Time , The Right Place Department of Veterans Affairs A Proud Tradition of Service For over 50 years, the Department of Veterans Affairs has been provid ing quality healthcare to America's veterans Uirough the Veterans Health administration, the nation's largest integrated healthcare system, The Veterans Health Administra tion has proudly honored the commit ment to serve our Nation's veterans through the efforts of dedicated pro fessionals. We are very proud of the credentials of our clinical staff-they are all licensed and trained profession als. And we equip them with the nec essary instruments to deliver the best care. We can be proud of our tradition of service to veterans - past, present, and future. Wecontinue to train healthcare professionals through our affiliations with medical schools throughout the country. We conduct leading-edge medical research in state-of -the -art facilities. And we stand ready to pro vide contingency backup in times of national emergency. There are ser vices that benefit all Americans. Pride in our tradition has not kept us from facing the complex healthcare challenges that the future holds. To cope with tomorrow's challenges, and to continue our mission of providing the best care possible to veterans, we have introduced fundamental changes in the way we deliver healthcare. The impetus for these changes has been providedby the Veterans' Health Care Eligibility Reform Act. Eligibility Reform In October 1996, Congress passed Public Law 104-262, the Veterans' Health Care Eligibility Reform Act of 1996. This legislation led the way for the creation of a Uniform Benefits Package - a standard health benefit plan available to all veterans. The pack age not only opens up services to veterans, but simplifies the process by which veterans can receive the ser vices. For the first time, VA can offer enrolled veterans a Uniform Benefits Package that emphasizes preventive medicine and primary care, and that provides a comprehensive healthcare benefit plan including inpatient and outpatient treatment. The law has simplified the rules for providing healthcare to veterans. It has also streamlined the process by which veterans present themselves for care - the enrollment process, These changes will make it easier for veter ans to receive care than ever before. What hasn't changed is VA's ser vice orientation. As an organization, we have made a renewed commitment to excellence. And as healthcare pro fessionals, we have reaffirmed our dedication to the well-being of our patients America's veterans. The Right Care An emphasis on needed care With the new law, the determining factor is no longer the care that a patient is eligible to receive, but the kind of care that the patient needs. This means that enrolled veterans are our patients for most outpatient and hospital care that they need. Under the Uniform Benefits Pack age, "need" means any necessary medi cal outpatient or inpatient care that will" Promote, preserve, or restore health, has been prescribed by a VA clinical care provider, is consistent with generally ac Indian Land The Indian Land Working Group is pleased to announce the 9th An nual Indian Land Consolidation Sym posium to be hosted by the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians located in Palm Springs, CA. The Symposium will take place September 20-23, 1999. The event will include a day of workshop ses sions scheduled for Monday, Sep tember 20, followed by three days of general sessions on Tuesday, cepted standards of clinical practice. Veterans must first be enrolled to receive care: Toreccivc healthcare under the new program, veterans must first be en rolled. Veterans can obtain application forms for enrollment by visiting, call ing, or writing to their nearest VA healthcare facility or veterans benefits office. Completed applications may be submitted in person or by mail. A veteran who has received care from VA between October 1 1996 and January 30, 1998 may have their application for enrollment automati cally processed. They should check with their local VA location of care to be sure. Veterans may apply forcnroll menl at any time, even after October 1 , 1998. Some veterans are not required to apply- . . . Veterans are not required to apply for enrollment if they fall into one of the following categories. VA has rated them disabled with a service-connected condition of 50 or more. Less than one year has passed since they were discharged from mili tary service for a disability that the military determined was incurred or aggravated in the line of duty, but that VA has not yet rated. They are seeking care from VA only for a service-connected disabil ity. ...but VA is encouraging all veter arts to apply VA in encouraging all veterans to apply, even if they fall into one of these categories. Their application will help us plan more effectively to meet future healthcare needs, and will also help us provide better preventive care. Enrollment mean comprehensive care under the Uniform Benefits Pack age: Enrollment means veterans are eli gible for comprehensive healthcare benefits package of inpatient and out patient services. Among these services are the following. Preventive service, including outpatient surgery Primary medical care, including outpatient surgery Diagnosis and treatment Surgery Mental Health and Substance Abuse treatment Home healthcare Respite and Hospice Care Emergency care in VA facilities Drugs and Pharmaceuticals. HearingAidand Eyeglass Restric tions Hearing aids and eyeglasses require a service-connected disability rating of 10 or more, and are not usually pro vided for normal hearing or vision loss. Healthcare tailored to the individual medical needs of veterans... VAhealthcareisnolongerrestricted to specific "disabilities." Enrolled vet erans will receive all the medical ser vices and hospital care they need in the clinical setting that is most appropriate for them inpatient, outpatient, or at home. This means that VA can now offer primary care that is readily acces sible and integrated with other healthcare services, We offer programs that integrate primary care with case management, that promote good health, and that prevent illness. Exclusions... Somemedical services notnormally covered by the Uniform Benefits Pack age include cosmetic surgery, steril ization, abortion, membership in health clubs or spas for rehabilitation, special private duty nursing, and gender alter ation.

Enrolled veterans may be eligible for these pro grams', but dicy arc not part of the Uniform Benefits Package. Veterans should keep their exist ing healthcare coverage... VA encourages veterans to retain any existing healthcare coverage they may have. VA enrollment can be used as a complement to such coverage. At The Right Time: Veterans Can apply at any VA medi cal facility or veterans benefit office, at any time, any year. Vctcranscan apply forenrollmcnt at any VA medical facility or veterans benefit office at any time any year. After veterans have completed the application for enrollment, including means test and income screening, if appropriate, VA staff will determine their initial priority group and process their application. The Health Eligibil ity Center will validate the information and send veterans a letter concerning their enrollment. For patients new to VA, their application for enrollment will be generated automatically as part of their patient registration process the first time they visit a VA health facility for care. New simplifiedapplication process: VA Form 10-10 EZ VA From 10-10 EZ is a one page application form, front and back. It replaces an 1 1-page application form. With the introduction of the VA Form 10-10 EZ application time 'has been reduced from more than three hours to less than 15 minutes for most veterans. Enrollments are renewed annually. Once enrolled, veterans will re main enrolled for one year. Renewal is automatic, unless the veteran asks not to re-enroll, or changes in VA funding have reduced the number of enrollment priority groups treated in a given fiscal year. Each year veterans will receive a VA Form 10-10 EZR on which they can indicate changes in demographix or personal financial status. In The Right Place Veterans may select a "preferred V A facility " to provide their primary care, Enrolled veterans may select a "preferred facility" for receiving pri mary care. A preferred facility is any VA location of care for example, VA Medical Center, Independent Clinic, or Community Based Outpatient Clinic that the veteran identifies as the facility at which they wish their primary care to be delivered. The preferred VA facility is respon sible for providing the healthcare vet erans need. If for any reason a selected facility is unable to provide the healthcare needed by an enrolled veteran, that facility must make arrangements for that care to be provided by another VA facility or by one of VA's private sector contract affiliates. Enrollment assures veterans the same level or care throughout the VAsystem. Enrollment gives the veteran access to a uniform level of care any where in the VA healthcare system including 1,100 facilities nationwide.
