Veterans Affairs Transfer of Information and Sharing of Disability Examination Procedures With DOD Doctors Act
Referred to the Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs.
<p><strong>Veterans Affairs Transfer of Information and Sharing of Disability Examination Procedures With DOD Doctors Act</strong></p> <p>This bill addresses the sharing of medical information and disability examination procedures between the Departments of Defense (DOD) and Veterans Affairs (VA). It requires that if a member of the Armed Forces who is required to receive a physical examination upon separation from active duty has or is believed to have a medical condition that may make the member eligible for veterans' disability compensation and benefits, the examination must be performed by a VA-certified health care provider.</p><p>If the condition is discovered during the physical examination and the examining health care provider is not VA-certified, the examination must be completed by a VA-certified provider. </p> <p>An eligibility determination made as part of such an examination shall be binding on the VA and be used as the basis for assigning the member's disability rating.</p> <p>The VA and DOD shall jointly establish a system to share data and maintain the medical and personnel records of Armed Forces members and veterans.</p>
The main political fault lines are not fully surfaced yet, so coalition durability is still unclear.
The next hurdle is converting committee movement into a floor coalition.
