All military veterans experiencing suicide crises are now eligible for free emergency medical care. Veterans need not be enrolled in VA programs to receive care.

Additionally, vets do not have to go to a VA clinic for suicide mental health treatment. The new program to support veterans includes private facilities.

The VA will announce the new plan on Friday. In addition to emergency treatment, vets can receive 30 days of inpatient care, and up to 90 days of outpatient care.
