No, they don't.

Other hospitals will initiate treatment, and assist the patient in an attempt to apply for Medicaid and bill them, failing that the hospital apply for other emergency funding assistance ... but you don't get any money from the V.A. "just because." Now, if the individual is a Service Connected Disabled Vet, there's usually Medicare already in place, so that's what gets billed.
