Veterans Mental Health and Addiction Therapy Quality of Care Act

Committee on Veterans' Affairs. Hearings held.

Bill 119 s 702, also known as the "Veterans Mental Health and Addiction Care Quality Study Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to investigate the quality of care provided to veterans for mental health and addiction therapy. The bill specifically focuses on comparing the care provided by health care providers within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to care provided by non-Department providers.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there are any significant differences in the quality of care between VA providers and non-Department providers when it comes to mental health and addiction therapy for veterans. By conducting this study, lawmakers hope to identify any potential areas for improvement in the care provided to veterans and ensure that they are receiving the best possible treatment for their mental health and addiction issues.

In addition to comparing the quality of care, the bill also aims to explore any potential barriers that veterans may face in accessing mental health and addiction therapy services. By understanding these barriers, lawmakers can work towards improving access to care for veterans and ensuring that they are able to receive the support they need. Overall, Bill 119 s 702 seeks to shed light on the quality of care provided to veterans for mental health and addiction therapy and identify ways to improve the care they receive. By conducting this study, lawmakers hope to ensure that veterans are receiving the best possible care for their mental health and addiction issues, regardless of whether they are receiving care from VA providers or non-Department providers.
