MISSION Act & Outpatient Rights
The VA MISSION Act expanded your rights to seek outpatient care outside the VA. If your local VA cannot see you within 20 days or if the drive is burdensome, you are legally eligible to request an outpatient referral to a CCN provider like Resilience Georgia. You can use the VA Facility Locator to confirm our network status.
🚨 Common Pitfall: The "Episode of Care" Renewal
A frequent hurdle in VA CCN outpatient mental health is the expiration of the Standardized Episode of Care (SEOC). Most outpatient referrals are valid for 6 months. If you do not have a renewal on file, your sessions may be interrupted. At Resilience Georgia, we proactively work with your Optum or TriWest coordinator to request renewals before your care is affected.
Outpatient Services FAQ
What qualifies as "Outpatient" care?
Outpatient care includes therapy, psychiatry, and group sessions where you visit the clinic and return home the same day.
Does the VA cover travel pay for outpatient visits?
In many cases, yes. Veterans eligible for travel reimbursement can often claim it for authorized Community Care visits. Check with your VA travel office.
Can I do outpatient care via Telehealth?
Absolutely. Resilience Georgia provides secure, HIPAA-compliant outpatient telehealth services to Veterans across the state.
