Summary
The bill changes federal law so the Department of Veterans Affairs must share a veteran’s opioid prescription history with any non‑VA health‑care provider that treats the veteran under the VA’s Community Care program, using a third‑party administrator. The goal is to improve coordination and safety in pain‑management treatment for veterans receiving care outside the VA system.
