HR 10554 United States House · 118th Congress

Pentagon Medical Malpractice Claims Reporting Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to submit annual reports to Congress on medical malpractice claims filed by uniformed service members against military healthcare providers. The reports must include the number of claims processed, average resolution time, how each claim was resolved, and the number of denials broken down by specific reason (like incomplete documentation). These reports are mandated annually until 2028 and aim to improve transparency in the military claims process. The bill directly affects military medical staff, service members filing claims, and congressional oversight committees.
