Description

While the Dept. of Veterans Affairs (VA) treats the majority of veterans in VA-operated facilities, in some instances it must obtain the services of non-VA providers to ensure that veterans are provided timely and accessible care. These non-VA providers are commonly reimbursed by VA using a fee-for-service arrangement known as fee basis care. VAäó»s fee basis care program has grown rapidly in recent years -- rising from about 8% of VAäó»s total health care services budget in FY 2005 to about 11% in FY 2012. This report reviews fee basis care program spending and utilization and factors that influence VA Medical Center (VAMC) fee basis utilization. It examines how fee basis care spending and utilization changed from FY 2008 to FY 2012, factors that contribute to the use of fee basis care, and VAäó»s oversight of fee basis care program spending and utilization. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
