VA reduces improper payments for private health care by 98% since 2020, GAO finds
Improper payments to private health care providers have decreased significantly. The reduction is attributed to efforts by the Department of Veterans Affairs. A notable decline in improper payments has been observed over the past five years.
The amount of improper payments has been reduced from billions to hundreds of millions. This change indicates a substantial improvement in the management of payments to private companies providing medical care to veterans. Further information on this development is available from the Government Accountability Office, which released a report on the matter.
Details on the reduction and its impact can be found in the report.
