Affairs Interim Committee

Catch Title:
State active duty medical expense reimbursement.

Subject:
Medical expense
reimbursement for military personnel.

Summary/Major Elements:

Under current law the
military department does not have express authority to reimburse national guard
members for uncompensated medical expenses incurred as a result of state active
duty service.

This legislation amends the
law to provide that state active duty officers and enlisted men are entitled to
receive reimbursement for "reasonable medical expenses paid by the officer
or enlisted man as a direct consequence of state active duty." If a
medical expense is paid by a third party (i.e. an insurance company), the
expense is not eligible for reimbursement.

This legislation gives the
adjutant general authority to adopt regulations dictating when a medical
expense is the consequence of state active duty.
