WASHINGTON, Oct. 1 -- Department Of Veterans Affairs has issued a proposed rule called: Eliminating the Requirement for Laparoscopy To Establish Service Connection for Endometriosis.
The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on Oct. 1 by Taylor N. Mattson, Alternate Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Veterans Affairs.
Summary: The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) proposes to remove the note under diagnostic code (DC) 7629 requiring an endometriosis diagnosis that is confirmed by laparoscopy. This update would ensure the VA Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) continues to align with current medical practice and would expedite the process for establishing service connection.
