Summary
The bill authorizes the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to assign VA physicians as traveling doctors to American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and other U.S. territories for up to one year. Assigned physicians must coordinate care with local non‑VA providers and receive a relocation or retention bonus comparable to existing VA bonuses. The goal is to improve health‑care access for veterans living outside the 50 states.
