To direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to seek to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and to provide for coordination between the Secretaries in the administration of the Veterans Community Care Program and certain health plans under the Medicare program, and for other purposes.

This bill would require the head of the Department of Veterans Affairs to work with the head of the Department of Health and Human Services to create a formal agreement between the two agencies. The goal appears to be better coordination between the Veterans Community Care Program, which helps veterans get health care from non-VA providers, and certain health plans under Medicare. No official summary is available for this bill.
