New Centralized Authorized Emergency Care (CAEC) notification process
The new process will be introduced across the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) and will centralize and standardize notifications and review for emergency care for Veterans enrolled in one of RVAHCS’s five facilities.
Under 38 CFR § 17.4020, the VA can authorize emergency treatment for an eligible Veteran when the following criteria are met:
- When a VA Emergency Room (ER) is not feasibly available;
- When care or services received were for the treatment of a medical emergency of such nature that a prudent layperson would reasonably expect delay in seeking immediate medical attention would be hazardous to life or health;
- When seen by an in-network community hospital;
- When the VA is notified within 72 hours of the beginning of emergency treatment;
Veterans, community-based, non-VA hospitals, their family or friends must email VHAEmergencyNotification@va.gov, or call 1-844-72HRVHA (844-724-7842) within 72 hours from the start of a Veterans ER visit or emergent hospital stay.
In a situation where the VHA does not receive notification within 72 hours, an eligible Veteran may still receive coverage of their community ER or hospital stay under Title 38 U.S.C. §1725 or §1728.
Veterans with questions regarding this change or the VHA emergency care benefit may contact the RVAHCS Office of Community Care at 541-440-1296 or visit www.va.gov/communitycare.

COVID-19 Booster Shots
ROSEBURG, OR – The safety and care of Veterans and our workforce are VA’s top priorities. As of October 26, 2021, Roseburg VA Health Care System (RVAHCS) has been offering Veterans, employees and SAVE LIVES Act recipients booster shots.
“Vaccines remain the best way of protecting Veterans, staff and the RVAHCS community against COVID-19,” said Keith Allen, Medical Center Director. “During the holidays, the expanded Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations regarding booster shots allow us to better protect those at higher risk, as well as our community at large.”
VA is also offering the booster to spouses, caregivers and CHAMPVA recipients under the authority of the SAVE LIVES Act, as supply and capacity permits. The SAVE LIVES Act authorizes VA to offer vaccine to Veterans not traditionally eligible for VHA care, and others including spouses and caregivers of Veterans.
Visit VA’s Questions webpage for questions and answers regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.
