Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2025

# Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would expand the types of healthcare providers that veterans can use through the VA's Community Care Program. Specifically, it would allow nurse registries—companies that hire and manage nurses and home health aides—to become approved providers under this program. Currently, the VA has restrictions on which types of providers qualify.

If passed, veterans could potentially use nursing services arranged through these registries instead of only going through traditional VA facilities or other currently approved providers. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects veterans who need home-based healthcare services, as well as nurse registries and nursing professionals who want to provide services to veterans. It could expand veterans' options for receiving care at home, particularly for services like nursing care, home health aides, and companion services. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. It has not advanced further in the legislative process.
