CARING for Our Veterans Health Act of 2025
Summary
H.R. 6522, the CARING for Our Veterans Health Act of 2025, would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to establish goals and related performance measures for medical centers in obtaining medical documentation from community care providers. The bill would also establish and monitor goals for community care providers to complete required core trainings, and would ensure that the VA's Office of Integrated Veteran Care communicates clear information to providers about which trainings are recommended or required.
The legislation aims to improve coordination and record-keeping between the VA and the community providers who deliver care to veterans. By setting performance standards for documentation submission and training completion, the bill seeks to enhance the continuity of care for veterans who receive services from both VA facilities and community-based providers. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Subcommittee on Health and has not yet been voted on by the full chamber.
