VOICE for Women Veterans Act

This bill changes a recurring report that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) must prepare on the health of women veterans. It moves responsibility for the report from the Chief Officer of Women's Health to the VA Secretary and requires the report to include more data, such as how many women veterans live in each state, enroll in and use VA health care, wait for and travel to appointments, and use non-VA care. The report would also cover women's health provider staffing and vacancies, training for community care providers, conditions unique to women veterans, and women veterans' benefit claims and use of VA benefits. The bill lets the Secretary combine other required reports into this one under certain conditions and expands the list of services counted as gender-specific services.
