U.S. military veterans in “acute suicidal crisis” can get free emergency health care at any Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or non-VA health care facility, starting on Jan. 17, the agency reported.

The new policy allows veterans to access inpatient or crisis residential care for up to 30 days and outpatient treatment for as many as 90 days, according to a VA statement.
