Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill directs the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to seek, within one year, an agreement with the Secretary of Health and Human Services to share data on veterans enrolled in VA health care who are also enrolled in Medicare, Medicaid, or a Medicare Advantage plan. The stated purpose is to avoid duplicate, improper, or erroneous billings or payments for VA hospital care and medical services. Under the agreement, the VA would send information on veterans receiving VA care, such as billing and diagnostic codes, and HHS would identify veterans also enrolled in those programs and send a list back to the VA. The agreement would last two years, and the VA would report to the House and Senate Veterans' Affairs Committees on its activities and effectiveness.
