Clarity on Care Options Act

This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to have the companies that run its community care provider networks ask each provider every year whether it accepts patients under CHAMPVA, a VA health program for certain family members of veterans, and report the answers to the VA. The VA would use this information to create and keep up a public directory of network providers that accept CHAMPVA. The first survey results would be due within 90 days of the law taking effect, and the first directory within 180 days. The VA would also send Congress a yearly report for five years on how many providers accept CHAMPVA, broken down by state and VA region, including areas with CHAMPVA beneficiaries but no participating providers.
