The Project ARCH (Access Received Closer to Home) pilot program has been operating in parts of Maine, Kansas, Arizona, Wyoming and Virginia and is aimed at providing access to community providers for those veterans who live far from a VA facility, very much like the Veterans Choice Program.
As of August 7th, Project ARCH will officially end, but the VA announced last week that veterans who receive care under Project ARCH will continue to receive uninterrupted care close to their home through the Veterans Choice Program.
Veterans who have been participating in Project ARCH will be transitioned to community care under the Veterans Choice Program. The VA is working with ARCH providers to have them continue to provide care to these veterans, thus enabling them to have continuity of care with known providers.
The VA is in the process of contacting veterans to help them with this transition. If you have been receiving care through Project ARCH and have not yet been contacted or if you have questions about your care, please contact the Care Coordinator at your VA medical facility for assistance.

I am not surprised that the VA closed the Project ARCH (Access Received Closer to Home) pilot program which was aimed at "providing access to community providers for those veterans who live far from a VA facility in Maine, Kansas, Arizona, Wyoming and Virginia SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL.
I recognize that the bureaucrats in the VA have a high view of the Veterans Choice Program. I hope that it will become more responsive to military service veterans and to the doctors and medical teams that provide care to Veterans.
My experience early on was not good. The doctors and medical labs did a great job while the Veterans Choice Program dragged its feet at most of the steps from providing the authorization to the doctor after they directed me to go through paying the lab that analyzed my biopsies within 6 months.

Stephen, Bureaucrats hate the choice program, I can assure you of that my friend. So sorry to hear that they intentionally screwed it up!
