This bill, the Improving Oversight of Veterans Community Care Providers Act of 2022, aims to improve the methods by which the Secretary of Veterans Affairs identifies health care providers that are not eligible to participate in the Veterans Community Care Program. The key provisions include: requiring the automated continuous matching of health care providers in the Provider Profile Management System with certain covered data systems using multiple unique identifiers, conducting a fraud risk analysis regarding the exclusion of health care providers from the program, and requiring the Secretary to implement a plan to improve oversight and submit reports to Congress on the progress. The Veterans Community Care Program is the program established under section 1703 of title 38, United States Code, which allows eligible veterans to receive care from community providers.
