VA Medical Center Facility Transparency Act

HR 6794, the VA Medical Center Facility Transparency Act, requires VA medical facilities to schedule appointments during the same phone call when a covered veteran (enrolled in VA's patient system) requests one. It mandates annual and quarterly public fact sheets from each facility detailing patient statistics, satisfaction ratings, wait times, facility achievements, and areas needing improvement. The bill also requires VA to notify Congress within 90 days when a medical center director is detailed to another position and to appoint an acting director within 120 days. All provisions expire three years after enactment.
