Summary
H.R. 4992, the Veterans Medicare Assistance Act of 2006, proposed a "Medicare subvention" pilot program between the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Under this bill, Medicare would have been required to reimburse the VA for medical services provided to Medicare-eligible veterans at VA facilities. The goal was to allow veterans to use their Medicare benefits within the VA health system, potentially reducing their out-of-pocket costs and providing the VA with a new stream of funding to improve care.
