Bill > HR8347

This bill directs the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on the menopause care provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). The study will examine the VA's established guidelines and protocols for training medical providers, diagnosing and treating menopause-related conditions, and referring veterans to non-VA providers. It will also evaluate the adequacy of veterans' access to interdisciplinary care, the VA's educational initiatives and outreach on menopause care, the quality of menopause care provided, and how the VA is leveraging research to improve menopause care. Based on the study's findings, the bill requires the VA Secretary to submit a strategic plan to implement the recommendations and improve the quality and access to menopause care for veterans.
