The Veterans Affairs Peer Review Neutrality Act of 2025 eliminates conflicts of interest in Veterans Health Administration quality reviews and investigations. The bill requires VA health care providers conducting peer reviews to recuse themselves if they're directly involved in the care being reviewed or cannot remain objective, and mandates that reviews of peer review committee members be evaluated by neutral reviewers from other VA facilities. For administrative investigations, the bill prohibits individuals with knowledge of confidential quality information from serving on investigation boards and requires investigators to recuse themselves if they have personal bias, direct involvement in the matter, or supervisory relationships with the subject being investigated. The legislation applies to all VA medical facilities and their quality management processes. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the bill.
