Veterans Suicide Prevention and Care Enhancement Act of 2024

HR 9449 establishes a "preferred provider list" for healthcare providers offering community care to veterans through the VA. It requires providers to complete annual, evidence-based suicide prevention training to be listed publicly, making it easier for veterans to find trained providers. The VA must annually report to Congress on the list's implementation, including provider numbers, veteran utilization patterns, and recommendations for improvement. This directly affects veterans seeking community care and healthcare providers participating in the VA's community care program.
