Admission Set ' Care in Veterans Administration hospitals may be extended to veterans of all wars and to peacetime veterans under certain conditions, according to the VA. Priority on admission to hospitals goes first to veterans who d require treatment for conditions, the VA said. Second priority is for those who d disabilities have but require treatment for conditions that are not service connected. A veteran without a disability may be admitted provided he served in any war or after June 27, 1950, or received the Medal of Honor during peacetime service. The VA pointed out that admission of these patients is upon these considerations: (l) hospitalization must le necessary. (2) the patient must state in writing that he is unable to defray the cost of the necessary hospitalization elsewhere, and (3) an appropriate hospital lied must he available. Outpatient care for uonser-vic- e connected conditions is not permitted by law, the VA said, but certain prehospital and medical services can lie performed for patients who are scheduled for admission to a VA hospital or for those who require followup care after hospitalization. The intent of this law, the VA said, is to shorten periods of actual hospitalization while providing the same medical care.
