Sec. 31.15  Continuance of medical relief after loss of status.



    If a person is separated while undergoing treatment by the Service, 

his treatment shall be discontinued immediately unless the physician or 

dentist in charge determines that the condition of the patient does not 

permit interruption of treatment, in which case the treatment shall be 

discontinued as soon as practicable and the condition of the patient 

permits. At that time he shall be discharged from treatment and shall 

not thereafter be afforded medical relief by the Service by reason of 

his previous service.
