Bill > HR6662

This bill, titled the "Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Credentialing Integration Act of 2025," requires the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to work together to create a single, standardized system for verifying the qualifications and granting practice privileges to medical providers in both departments. Initially, within 120 days of the bill's enactment, the Secretaries must submit a report detailing their current credentialing and privileging systems, including the data they store, how information can be moved between systems, how well they work together, how risks are managed, and any limitations. By January 1, 2027, they must jointly select one of the existing systems to become the unified credentialing and privileging system for both departments, ensuring it can import and share provider information. Finally, by January 1, 2028, they must certify to Congress that this new joint system has been put into operation. This initiative aims to streamline the process of ensuring medical providers are qualified to treat service members and veterans across both the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
