Veterans Affairs Peer Review Neutrality Act of 2025

HR 6519, the Veterans Affairs Peer Review Neutrality Act of 2025, requires Veterans Health Administration (VHA) peer review committees and administrative investigations to avoid conflicts of interest. It mandates that medical staff involved in a patient’s care must recuse themselves from reviewing that case, and peer reviews involving committee members must be reassigned to a neutral committee at another VHA facility. The bill also prohibits investigators from using confidential quality assurance information they possess or having personal relationships with the subject of an investigation. These changes directly affect VHA medical staff, peer review committees, and administrative investigation boards, aiming to ensure objective reviews of care quality.
