Coordinating Care for Senior Veterans and Wounded Warriors Act
S 506 establishes a 3-year pilot program to coordinate healthcare between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and Medicare for veterans enrolled in both systems. It assigns case managers to help covered veterans (those using both VA and Medicare) navigate care, reduce gaps in services, and improve outcomes. The program tracks metrics like access, costs, patient satisfaction, and care coordination across 3-5 diverse VA locations. Key provisions include using existing healthcare models, contracting with private entities where possible, and requiring regular reports to Congress on results. The goal is to streamline care for veterans who rely on both VA and Medicare services.
