KALAMAZOO (WKZO-AM) — Borgess Healthcare and other Ascention Michigan locations have announced a partnership with the Veterans Choice Program to provide medical care to qualified veterans who live more than 40 miles from a VA hospital, or face wait times in excess of 30 days.
The Veterans Choice Act was approved two years ago and established funding to pay for healthcare service provided to veterans by private healthcare providers.
Through the partnership, Ascension Michigan physicians and other caregivers are authorized to provide primary care, inpatient and outpatient specialty care, and mental health care for eligible veterans outside of the VA system.
