This bill directs the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs to create a single, unified system for credentialing and privileging medical providers across both agencies. Currently, the two departments operate separate credentialing systems, which can create inefficiencies and complications when providers work in both systems. The bill requires the agencies to submit a detailed report within 120 days analyzing their existing systems and recommending how to integrate them, then select one unified system by January 1, 2027, with full implementation by January 1, 2028. The new system must be able to import and share provider credentials and privileges between the two departments. This streamlining is intended to reduce administrative burden on medical providers and improve efficiency in military and veteran healthcare delivery, though the bill does not specify dedicated funding amounts for the integration effort.
