Subject: Update: VA Fee Schedule Rates
Hello, I just wanted to provide you with an update that I received yesterday afternoon. The Office of Community Care and Geriatrics & Extended Care has finalized the new VA fee schedule however it has not been published or shared with us.
National VA is currently developing a communications plan to explain these changes to the providers. In addition to various steps of outreach detailed in the communications plan, GEC will be sharing a fact sheet and other helpful information
directly with large GEC providers and provider associations affected by these VA Fee Schedule changes.
Please note they have also said that moving forward the VA intends to publish updates to the fee schedule
quarterly and the rates will be published on the VA website with the effective date. This is a change from yearly!
Thank you for continuing to provide our Veterans these services during this time of uncertainty. We are in high hopes that the new fee schedule will be an acceptable rate for you guys to continue to provide services.
As soon as we receive the information I will share!
Please share widely with others if they are not included on the email.
Thank you again,
Savanah LaKose MSN
Nurse Administrator for Community Care
