Summary of Bill HR 668
Bill 119 hr 668, also known as the "Veterans Coordinated Access & Rewarding Experiences (CARE) Act," aims to improve the coordination of care and benefits for veterans who are enrolled in both the Medicare program and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) annual patient enrollment system. The bill requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to carry out a pilot program to test the effectiveness of coordinating, navigating, and managing care and benefits for these dual-enrolled veterans.

The goal is to streamline the process for veterans who are enrolled in both programs, reducing any potential confusion or gaps in care.
By implementing this pilot program, the bill aims to enhance the overall experience for dual-enrolled veterans and improve their access to quality healthcare services. The results of the pilot program will be evaluated to determine its effectiveness and potential for expansion to benefit more veterans in the future. Overall, the Veterans CARE Act seeks to address the unique needs of veterans who are enrolled in both Medicare and the VA system, with the ultimate goal of improving their health outcomes and overall well-being.
