Mandated by Public Law 97-174, the DoD and VA have more than 30 years of health care resource sharing, resulting in more than 200 sharing agreements and ten joint ventures in the United States. DoD/VA resource sharing encompasses a wide range of services such as:
- Education and training
- Medical/surgical
- Traumatic brain injury
- Blind rehabilitation
- Spinal cord injury
- Gastroenterology
- Obstetrics/gynecology
- Mental health
- Pharmacy
- Pathology
- Physical therapy
- Physical examinations
Benefiting both DoD and VA beneficiaries, resource sharing minimizes duplication and underuse of health care resources promoting cost-effective use of federal healthcare resources.
