VA Billing Accountability Act

HR 6315, the VA Billing Accountability Act, requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to notify veterans of required copayments within 180 days for VA-provided care or 18 months for non-VA care. If the VA fails to meet these deadlines due to its own error, veterans may qualify for a waiver of the payment or a payment plan. The bill directly affects veterans who received care but were delayed in being notified about payment obligations. It also mandates the VA to review and improve its billing procedures within 180 days of enactment.
