7TXT10 ;;A veteran who is in receipt of the highest level of basic
8 ;; special monthly compensation for multiple service-connected
9 ;; disabilitites causing need for regular aid and attendance may
10 ;; be entitled to a higher rate if, because of the service-connected
11 ;; conditions, the veteran requires the daily health-care services
12 ;; of a skilled provider, without which he/she would require hospital,
13 ;; nursing home, or other institutional care. These services may be
14 ;; provided by a family member or other individual under the
15 ;; supervision of a physician or other health-care professional.
16 ;;
17 ;; Personal health-care services include, but are not limited to,
18 ;; physical therapy, administration of injections, placement of
19 ;; indwelling catheters, and the changing of sterile dressings, or
20 ;; like functions which require professional health-care training
21 ;; or the regular supervision of a trained health-care professional
22 ;; to perform. A licensed health-care professional includes, but
23 ;; is not limited to, a doctor of medicine or osteopathy, a
24 ;; registered nurse, a licensed practical nurse, or a licensed
25 ;; physical therapist. Only a VA physician may certify the need
26 ;; for higher level of care.
27 ;;
28 ;; Special note: Veterans with potential entitlement to higher
29 ;; level of aid and attendance are commonly unable to travel except
30 ;; by ambulance. Before calling a veteran in for examination, a
31 ;; physician should review treatment records, if available, and
32 ;; determine whether need can be determined by record review and
33 ;; telephone contact with the veteran and/or the skilled provider.

36 ;;A. Indicate if the veteran requires the daily health-care services of a
37 ;;skilled provider, without which the veteran would require hospital, nursing
38 ;;home, or other institutional care, specifying the services required (if

40 ;;provider, state "daily services not required" and go to the end of the
