  1. TXT10 ;;A veteran who is in receipt of the highest level of basic
  1. ;; special monthly compensation for multiple service-connected
  1. ;; disabilitites causing need for regular aid and attendance may
  1. ;; be entitled to a higher rate if, because of the service-connected
  1. ;; conditions, the veteran requires the daily health-care services
  1. ;; of a skilled provider, without which he/she would require hospital,
  1. ;; nursing home, or other institutional care. These services may be
  1. ;; provided by a family member or other individual under the
  1. ;; supervision of a physician or other health-care professional.
  1. ;;
  1. ;; Personal health-care services include, but are not limited to,
  1. ;; physical therapy, administration of injections, placement of
  1. ;; indwelling catheters, and the changing of sterile dressings, or
  1. ;; like functions which require professional health-care training
  1. ;; or the regular supervision of a trained health-care professional
  1. ;; to perform. A licensed health-care professional includes, but
  1. ;; is not limited to, a doctor of medicine or osteopathy, a
  1. ;; registered nurse, a licensed practical nurse, or a licensed
  1. ;; physical therapist. Only a VA physician may certify the need
  1. ;; for higher level of care.
  1. ;;
  1. ;; Special note: Veterans with potential entitlement to higher
  1. ;; level of aid and attendance are commonly unable to travel except
  1. ;; by ambulance. Before calling a veteran in for examination, a
  1. ;; physician should review treatment records, if available, and
  1. ;; determine whether need can be determined by record review and
  1. ;; telephone contact with the veteran and/or the skilled provider.
