DoD-VA Medical Credentialing Integration

Current understanding

HR6662 (119th Congress), the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Credentialing Integration Act of 2025, proposes integrating medical credentialing processes between DoD and VA so that healthcare provider recognition is streamlined across both systems. The bill has been introduced and referred; no fiscal score or implementation timeline is yet available. Practical implications would primarily affect military and VA healthcare workforce onboarding and provider mobility between the two systems.
