What H.R. 3400 does
Veterans in U.S. territories could see a traveling VA doctor under H.R. 3400, the TRAVEL Act of 2025. The bill would let the Department of Veterans Affairs assign a Veterans Health Administration physician to travel for up to one year to VA facilities in American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and any other U.S. territory or possession.
These physicians would coordinate with non-VA providers when needed so veterans receiving hospital care and medical services get coordinated care. The VA would have to give them a relocation or retention bonus.
