Expands access to the Veterans Community Care Program to include mental health or substance-use services for veterans.
The Never Fight Alone Act aims to expand access to the Veterans Community Care Program to include mental health or substance-use services for veterans who cannot timely access Mental Health Residential Treatment Programs. The bill prohibits the Department of Veterans Affairs from denying care based on the inability of health care providers to comply with access standards. It mandates the development of community care metrics and modifies access standards to ensure they are not more restrictive than those for specialty care.
