To amend title 38, United States Code, to require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to transmit a veteran's history of opioid prescriptions to a Community Care health care provider.

This bill changes federal veterans law so that the standards for the Veterans Community Care program require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to send a veteran's history of opioid prescriptions, as recorded in Department records, to the non-Department health care provider treating that veteran. The transfer would go through a Third Party Administrator. The bill also adds a definition of "Third Party Administrator" that uses the meaning already given in another section of the same law.
