Summary
This bill amends federal law to require the Department of Veterans Affairs to reimburse state nursing homes for the cost of expensive medications provided to veterans, or alternatively to furnish those medications directly to the homes. A medication is defined as 'costly' if its monthly cost exceeds 8.5 percent of the VA's standard per-diem payment for that veteran's care at that facility.
