WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — The Veterans Administration implemented the MISSION Act on June 6, but one of the lesser known provisions of the law established a new urgent care benefit that allows eligible veterans access to urgent and walk-in care at participating clinics in their communities.

This is a giant step forward in terms of convenience for the VA’s patients, as eligible veterans do not need to get prior authorization from the VA to visit an urgent care provider in the VA’s network.
