Requires the VA Secretary to run a three-year pilot program (beginning one year after enactment) that lets eligible veterans choose their health care providers inside a defined “covered care system” to improve access to hospital care, medical services, specialty care, mental health care, and extended care services. The pilot must include at least four Veterans Integrated Service Networks (VISNs), center care coordination through a chosen primary care provider, require regular reports to congressional veterans’ committees, and include provisions for possible permanent changes starting four years after enactment.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
