AI Summary
This bill, known as the Veteran's Choice Accountability Act, requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to conduct two key evaluations. First, the Secretary must review all VA programs that provide hospital care, medical services, and nursing home care (known as fee-basis care) to identify the most intensively used specialized care programs and ensure they are maintained as centers of excellence. Second, within two years of the Act's enactment, the Secretary must submit to Congress a comprehensive evaluation of the implementation of the VA Budget and Choice Improvement Act, which was originally passed as part of Public Law 114-41. The bill aims to improve healthcare provision for veterans by mandating careful assessment and reporting on existing VA healthcare programs and their effectiveness, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the quality and accessibility of medical services for veterans.
