Description

The Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) is one of the nationäó»s largest health care providers. In FY 2011, VA spent about $51.4 billion to provide health care to about 6.2 million patients. To provide this care, VA operates more than 150 hospitals, 130 nursing homes, 800 outpatient clinics, and 300 readjustment counseling centers through 21 regional health care networks known as Veterans Integrated Service Networks.Given the importance of VAäó»s collections, reimbursements, and unobligated balances in the formulation of its budget estimate and given VAäó»s budget formulation challenges, this report examined VAäó»s experience estimating these funds in the context of the Presidentäó»s budget request. This report examines how VA: (1) estimates the amount of collections and reimbursements, how the estimated amounts have compared to actual amounts in recent years, and what factors may explain any differences; and (2) estimates the amount of its unobligated balances, how the estimated amounts have compared to actual amounts in recent years, and what factors may explain any differences. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
