SERVE Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to create and carry out action plans at military and VA medical facilities so the two departments share health care resources and veterans enrolled in VA care can be treated at military hospitals with extra capacity or space. The plans would include letting providers be credentialed to work in both systems, faster base access for VA staff and veterans, a coordinator at each facility, shared information systems, and a process for handling medical errors and complaints. The departments would have to set up a secure complaint system for veterans, review complaints every quarter, post a public list of sharing agreements, and report to Congress. The bill states that veterans could not be required to get care at military facilities, and the section would end on September 30, 2028.
