Bill overview
This bill, the BEST for Vets Act of 2023, aims to improve the quality and transparency of medical examinations provided to veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs’ pilot program using contract physicians. It ensures that only licensed health care professionals – including doctors, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, audiologists, and psychologists – can conduct these examinations. The bill also requires the VA to report annually on the program's performance and the actions taken to ensure compliance with licensing standards. Ultimately, the goal is to protect veterans by guaranteeing that examinations are performed by qualified professionals.
