Introduced·6/29/26

The Veterans Care and Cost Coordination Act of 2026 aims to coordinate care and costs between the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department.

The Veterans Care and Cost Coordination Act of 2026 mandates the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This memorandum facilitates reciprocal access to health care data between the Veterans Health Administration and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It aims to avoid duplicative health care and erroneous payments for veterans enrolled in both systems. The memorandum also informs veterans of beneficial or follow-up services.
