Data sharing to stop duplicate veteran bills
If enacted, the bill would require the VA Secretary, within one year, to seek a two-way data-sharing agreement with HHS. The agreement would let VA send data about veterans enrolled in VA and receiving VA care (including billing and diagnostic codes) to HHS. HHS would use that data to find veterans who are also in Medicare, Medicaid, or Medicare Advantage and send VA a list and related information. The agreement would last two years after it starts, and VA would report to the Congressional veterans committees one year after it begins and every two years while it is in effect. If passed, veterans enrolled in both systems would likely see fewer duplicate or improper bills.
