Referred to the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs.

The Department of Veterans Affairs would be required to share a veteran's complete history of opioid prescriptions with private healthcare providers when a veteran receives care through the VA's Community Care program. This would help prevent veterans from obtaining duplicate or excessive opioid prescriptions from multiple providers and reduce the risk of addiction or overdose. The change affects veterans who use both VA and private healthcare services.
