Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funding for VA health care is determined by Congress in the annual appropriations process.

The Veterans Health Care Budget Reform and Transparency Act of 2009 requires an assessment of whether the funding requested for VA health care in the President's budget requests submitted to Congress in 2011, 2012, and 2013 is consistent with VA's estimates of the resources needed to provide health care services. This report describes: (1) how the VA develops its health care budget estimate; and (2) how VA's health care budget estimate is used in the President's budget request to Congress. Illus.

GAO's previous work found that VA's NRM spending exceeded its estimates in recent years and that some of VA's estimates of savings from operational improvements lacked analytical support or were flawed. Building on GAO's past work and the President's most recent request for VA health care, this report examines (1) key changes to the fiscal year 2013 budget request compared to the 2013 advance appropriations request, and certain aspects of the fiscal year 2014 advance appropriation request and supporting estimates; and (2) whether the issues GAO identified regarding NRM and operational improvements continue in the estimates for the most recent request. GAO reviewed the President's budget request, VA's budget justification, and VA data. GAO interviewed VA officials and staff from the Office of Management and Budget. "

Download or read book Health Care Spending and Efficiency in the United States Department of Veterans Affairs written by David I. Auerbach and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its 2013 budget request, the Obama administration sought $140 billion for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), 54 percent of which would provide mandatory benefits, such as direct compensation and pensions, and 40 percent of which is discretionary spending, earmarked for medical benefits under the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Unlike Medicare, which provides financing for care when its beneficiaries use providers throughout the U.S. health care system, the VHA is a government-run, parallel system that is primarily intended for care provision of veterans. The VHA hires its own doctors and has its own hospital network infrastructure. Although the VHA provides quality services to veterans, it does not preclude veterans from utilizing other forms of care outside of the VHA network, in fact, the majority of veterans' care is received external to the VHA because of location and other system limitations. Veterans typically use other private and public health insurance coverage (for example, Medicare, Medicaid) for external care, and many use both systems in a given year (dual use). Overlapping system use creates the potential for duplicative, uncoordinated, and inefficient use. The authors find some suggestive evidence of such inefficient use, particularly in the area of inpatient care. Coordination management and quality of care received by veterans across both VHA and private sector systems can be optimized (for example, in the area of mental illness, which benefits from an integrated approach across multiple providers and sectors), capitalizing on the best that each system has to offer, without increasing costs.
