Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2025

The Veterans Homecare Choice Act of 2025 would modify the Department of Veterans Affairs' Veterans Community Care Program to recognize nurse registries as eligible healthcare providers. A nurse registry, under this bill's definition, would be an entity that meets state licensing requirements and arranges contracts for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, certified nursing assistants, home health aides, companions, or homemakers to provide healthcare-related or assistive services to patients.

If enacted, this legislation could expand veterans' options for receiving home-based care services through the VA's community care program. By including nurse registries as eligible providers, veterans might gain access to a broader network of home healthcare professionals and support services. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Subcommittee on Health and has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
