Although an admitted claimant has been determined eligible for benefits from the Virginia Birth-Related Injury Compensation Program (Program), parents or caregivers must contact the Program before committing to the purchase of equipment or incurring other expenses for which they may seek reimbursement. Failure to do so may jeopardize reimbursement from the Program. In the case of emergency care rendered or sought during nonbusiness hours, the admitted claimant's family is responsible for contacting the Program the next business day for authorization of services for which the Program is expected to pay.
