Bill overview
This bill, the Veterans Health Administration Caregiver Retention and Eligibility Determination Act of 2019 (VHA CRED Act), aims to improve the credentialing process for medical professionals employed by the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). It mandates that the VHA establish regulations and training programs to ensure that all appointees meet qualifications and that credentialing personnel are properly trained to identify potential issues with providers’ records. The bill also requires continuous monitoring of provider records through the National Practitioner Data Bank and annual audits of VHA employees with adverse actions reported.
