What it does
The Mental Health Care Provider Retention Act of 2025 would allow individuals transitioning from Department of Defense to Department of Veterans Affairs mental health care to continue receiving treatment from their current DoD mental health provider. It requires the VA to reimburse DoD for these services, ensures continuity of care through medical record sharing, and provides options if the provider leaves or the individual relocates. The bill applies to covered individuals diagnosed with a mental health condition who are enrolling in or transitioning within the VA patient enrollment system.
