Improving Menopause Care for Veterans Act of 2024
This bill requires the Comptroller General to study menopause care provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to women veterans. The study will examine current VA services for perimenopause, menopause, and related conditions, including provider training, diagnosis protocols, access to care, veteran awareness, and care quality. The Comptroller General must issue a report within 18 months, followed by a VA strategic plan within 6 months to improve care based on the findings. The bill directly affects women veterans seeking VA health services related to menopause symptoms but does not change existing benefits or funding.
