U.S. military veterans who find themselves in suicidal crisis will be eligible for free emergency medical care at any Department of Veterans Affairs facility or any private facility.
Unlike for most other medical benefits, veterans do not have to be enrolled in the VA system to be eligible. More than 18 million veterans in the U.S. could be eligible.
The new policy will include up to 30 days of inpatient or crisis residential care and up to 90 days of follow-on outpatient care.

It's free care for up to 4 months.
30 days inpatient, Plus 90 days outpatient follow up care.
This is per occurrence, not once in a lifetime.
