Catch Title:
Active
duty medical cost reimbursement program amendments.

Subject:
National Guard active duty benefits medical
costs.

Summary/Major
Elements:

The Wyoming National Guard maintains a program to
reimburse medical costs incurred by a soldier if the costs were the direct
result of service in state active duty.

This legislation gives the adjutant general discretion
in making payments and permits payment directly to a healthcare provider,
rather than requiring the soldier to first make payment and then receive
reimbursement.
