Coordinating Care for Senior Veterans and Wounded Warriors Act

# Coordinating Care for Senior Veterans and Wounded Warriors Act (HR 668) **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the Department of Veterans Affairs to run a three-year test program aimed at helping veterans who use both Medicare and VA healthcare. The pilot program would focus on coordinating and managing care between these two systems so that veterans receive better-organized medical treatment and can more easily navigate their benefits. The goal is to improve how these systems work together for eligible veterans. **Who It Affects** The bill primarily affects senior veterans and wounded veterans who are enrolled in both Medicare and VA healthcare—in other words, those using both government health systems simultaneously. These veterans often face challenges when their care isn't coordinated between the two separate systems. **Current Status and Key Details** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been passed.

It was introduced by Representative Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ). The proposal focuses on improving care coordination, navigation assistance, and benefits management during the three-year pilot phase. Congress would likely oversee the program's performance to determine whether it should become permanent.
