Department of Veterans Affairs March 6, 2012 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is proposing to amend its regulation that governs VA services that are not subject to copayment requirements for inpatient hospital care or outpatient medical care. Specifically, the regulation would be amended to exempt in-home video telehealth care from having any required copayment. This would remove a barrier that may have previously discouraged veterans from choosing to use in-home video telehealth as a viable medical care option. In turn, VA hopes to make the home a preferred place of care, whenever medically appropriate and possible.

Notice is hereby given that the Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of Research and Development, intends to grant to Brain Plasticity, Inc., One Montgomery St., Suite 710, San Francisco, California 94104-4505, USA, an exclusive license to practice the following patent application: PCT/US2011/042031 filed July 8, 2011, entitled ``Computer-Implemented interactive behavioral training technique for the optimization of attention or remediation of disorders of attention.''
