VA-2013-VHA-0007 VA AO21 - Final Rule and Correction - Criteria for a Catastrophically Disabled Determination for Purposes of Enrollment Rulemaking 2018-07-11T01:03:58Z 0b00006481203d3f 2900-AO21 The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulation concerning the manner in which VA determines that a veteran is catastrophically disabled for purposes of enrollment in priority group 4 for VA health care. The current regulation relies on specific codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD–9–CM) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®). We propose to state the descriptions that would identify an individual as catastrophically disabled, instead of using the corresponding ICD–9–CM and CPT® codes. The revisions would ensure that our regulation is not out of date when new versions of those codes are published. The revisions would also broaden some of the descriptions for a finding of catastrophic disability. Additionally, we would eliminate the Folstein Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) as a criterion for determining whether a veteran meets the definition of catastrophically disabled, because we have determined that the MMSE is no longer a necessary clinical assessment tool.               {"displayProperties": [], "keywords": null, "modifyDate": "2018-07-11T01:03:58Z", "dkAbstract": "The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to amend its regulation concerning the manner in which VA determines that a veteran is\r\ncatastrophically disabled for purposes of\r\nenrollment in priority group 4 for VA health care.
