Mental Health Care Provider Retention Act of 2025

This bill allows veterans with mental health conditions transitioning from Department of Defense (DoD) to Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) care to continue seeing their current DoD mental health provider during the switch. It requires the VA to reimburse the DoD for services provided under this provision, ensures veterans can switch to another DoD provider at the same facility if their current provider leaves, and mandates that medical records be transferred to the VA upon transition. The policy directly affects veterans enrolled in or transitioning to the VA's patient system who have a diagnosed mental health condition. It creates a structured process for continuity of care during the federal health system transition, avoiding abrupt provider changes.
