Abstract:

In February 1994, after nearly 3 years of negotiation, VA and DOD agreed on a framework for VA to treat CHAMPUS-eligible beneficiaries and receive reimbursement from CHAMPUS funds. Implementation of CHAMPUS/VA sharing agreements has been delayed because of disagreements between DOD and VA over VA hospital requirements. DOD wanted VA hospitals to be subject tothe same requirements as civilian hospitals under CHAMPUS. Disagreements continued until the Chairman, House Committee on Veterans Affairs, intervened.
