"VA Works to Expand Choice Program Eligibility
Eligibility criteria for 40 miles calculation would change to driving distance
Washington -- In order to expand eligibility for the Veterans Choice Program, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today announced that it will change the calculation used to determine the distance between a Veteran’s residence and the nearest VA medical facility from a straight line distance to driving distance. The policy change will be made through regulatory action in the coming weeks. The Veterans Choice Program was authorized by the Veterans Access, Choice, and Accountability Act of 2014 (VACAA)."

(I think they have had a lot of heat on this from vets and vet orgs. Up here in the hills of NY, raods that are over century old and always curved due to the hilly terrain , we always give directions in minutes and hours,)
because straight line miles mean nothing.)

I still don't trust this system!

Likewise. It's like giving someone a weapon without the firing pin. Useless. I have tried utilizing this system and it has more road blocks than Filing a successful claim and winning what you're leg
