AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to seek an agreement within one year with the Department of Health and Human Services to share data on veterans enrolled in both VA health care and Medicare or Medicare Advantage. The VA would use that data in running its Veterans Community Care Program to avoid providing duplicate care and making erroneous or duplicate payments. The VA would also use the data to identify Medicare Advantage special needs plans that offer at least three listed benefits, such as hearing aids, brain injury rehabilitation, or massage therapy. The bill allows each department to set up an office to coordinate care for veterans eligible for both programs.
