To access the library of published Clinical Determinations and Indications (CDI), read the end user agreement below and indicate your acceptance by selecting the button labeled “ACCEPT.”

By clicking “I Accept,” I acknowledge and accept the following:

• Clinical Determinations and Indications are intended to be reference material for non-VA providers and do not guarantee benefits or constitute medical advice. The treating clinician is solely responsible for provision of medical advice and the treatment of the Veteran. Veterans should review CDIs with their local Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) to discuss coverage determinations.
• Clinical Determinations and Indications express VA’s determination of whether certain services or treatments are medically necessary and appropriate. The CDIs are in accordance with 38 C.F.R. (Code of Federal Regulations) §17.38 (b) and (c)(3) based on the comprehensive analysis of current evidence-based resources, which may include the following:
  • Peer-reviewed literature from academic medical journals
  • Clinical practice guidelines from national health professional organizations
  • Guidance from VA and Department of Defense (DoD) resources
  • Guidance from U.S. regulatory entities (Food and Drug Administration, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, federal and state mandates)
  • Evidence-based guidelines of public health and health research agencies
  • Clinical expertise and judgment of VA physicians from the national program offices
• The VA medical benefits package is not a health insurance plan. It is a benefit grounded in statute and regulation.
