Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Credentialing Integration Act of 2025

Unified VA and DoD medical credentials

If enacted, the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs would develop and operate one joint system for medical provider credentialing and privileging. They would submit a joint report within 120 days after enactment describing current systems, data stored, portability, interoperability, risk management, adverse actions, governance, and gaps. By not later than January 1, 2027, they would select one existing Department system to use jointly, and that system would need to import and share provider credentialing and privileging information. By not later than January 1, 2028, they would jointly certify to the appropriate congressional committees that the system is implemented and operational. These steps are administrative and would not by themselves change individual benefits or directly appropriate funds.
