Requires a study comparing VA and private mental health care for veterans
This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to hire an independent group to study the quality of mental health and addiction care veterans receive. The study would compare care from VA providers to care from non-VA providers. The goal is to understand differences in care and make the findings public, potentially leading to better care for veterans.
Today, there is no federal requirement for an independent study comparing the quality of mental health and addiction therapy care provided by VA healthcare providers to non-VA providers. If this bill passes, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs would be required to contract with an independent organization to conduct such a study and publish its findings publicly.
