Maternal Health for Veterans Act
This bill requires the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to report annually on maternity care coordination programs until 2028, including data on maternal health outcomes for veterans. It authorizes $15 million annually for fiscal years 2024-2028 to fund these coordination programs, specifically targeting improvements for veterans in high-risk demographic groups facing elevated maternal mortality or health disparities. The VA must submit reports detailing current program activities, outcome data, and recommendations to address disparities. This directly affects veterans receiving VA maternity care or care coordinated through VA partnerships, focusing on measurable policy changes to strengthen care coordination.
