Va Provider Agreement

The Commission may also determine the extent to which accounting treatment, reserves, net assets or surpluses are required for commitments under service provider contracts, in the absence of the `no damage` clause. With respect to gaps in general care and service coverage until the contract network of community providers is fully established, VA was able to amend some of its current community care contracts for expansion until the new network is fully operational. However, even these extensions have not been able to absorb all of the existing choice program provider agreements used in each of the 21 Integrated Veteran Services Networks (ISTS) to provide care and services outside of VA`s community care contracts. Paragraph (b) also provides that paragraphs 17.4100 to 17.4135 apply to all facilities and providers that are parties to a Veteran care agreement, participate in the certification process and/or provide hospital care, medical services or extended care services, in accordance with a Veteran care agreement. .
