New announcement: PROGRAM OF CHOICE (POC) 13 – SPECIAL EQUIPMENT -EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

VETERANS AFFAIRS CANADA (VAC)
PROGRAM OF CHOICE (POC) 13 – SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING EMERGENCY COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

January 2013
Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) is improving the service delivery of its treatment benefits program by updating the benefit grids so that most services/items will only require pre-authorization the first time a Veteran accesses the benefit. In many cases, subsequent requests by the Veteran for the same benefit will not have to meet the pre-authorization requirement, making it easier for the Veteran to obtain the services/items required.

For the benefits listed in the following table, neither a second prescription nor a second preauthorization is required for payment for these devices/services following the initial approval year (12-month period) for each specific client.

360908 Emergency Communication Systems – Emergency/Electronic Call Device – Purchase Subsequent purchases do not require another prescription or pre-authorization
Frequency: 1/5 Calendar Years

361017 Emergency Communication Systems – Emergency/Electronic Call Device Monthly Service Charge Annual renewals do not require another
prescription or pre-authorization

361018 Emergency/Electronic Call Device – Rental Annual renewals do not require another prescription or pre-authorization
Frequency: 12/12 Calendar Months

361023 Emergency Communication Systems – Emergency/Electronic Call Device – Installation Subsequent services do not require another
prescription or pre-authorization

Please do not quote authorization numbers on invoices submitted after the initial 12-month authorization period has passed.
