This bill mandates the Secretaries of Defense and Veterans Affairs to establish a joint uniform credentialing and privileging system for medical providers across both departments. Within 120 days of enactment, they must submit a comprehensive report to Congress, detailing their current credentialing systems. This report will describe the scope, data types, portability, and interoperability of existing systems, along with any limitations and gaps, with the ultimate goal of achieving a single, unified system. Following this initial assessment, the Secretaries are directed to jointly select one existing system by January 1, 2027 , to serve as the new uniform standard. This chosen system must possess the capability to seamlessly import and share provider credentialing and privileging information between the departments. Finally, by January 1, 2028 , the Secretaries must certify to Congress that the selected joint system has been fully implemented and is operational, standardizing medical provider credentials across the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
