Representative Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) has reintroduced the "Coordinating Care for Senior Veterans and Wounded Warriors Act" with new cosponsors, saying, "Our nation's veterans risked life and limb in service to our nation; when they hang up their uniform, they deserve the highest quality and standard of care."

Rep. Ciscomani originally introduced the bipartisan bill in September with Representative Sheila Cherfilus McCormick (D-FL). The bill would implement a three-year pilot program in which case managers are assigned to oversee and coordinate benefits offered by Medicare and Veterans Affairs for each veteran enrolled in these systems. They then hash out a personalized healthcare plan to ensure these services are properly managed and delivered.

With the bill reintroduced, Rep. Ciscomani has found some new cosponsors in Representatives Mike Turner (R-OH) and Don Davis (D-NC).

In his new press release, the Arizona Congressman said, "Our nation's veterans risked life and limb in service to our nation when they hang up their uniform; they deserve the highest quality and standard of care."

"Unfortunately, too often, I hear from veterans who are frustrated by the lack of coordination between the VA and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) when they try to access the care they need. This legislation will right that wrong by assigning a case manager to veterans who will create individualized care plans, coordinate the delivery of benefits and services, and help them navigate overly burdensome bureaucracy," Ciscomani added.

Similarly, Rep. Davis also emphasized that veterans deserve the highest-quality healthcare, saying, "It's essential to establish a pilot program to test new ways to assist our veterans."

Finally, Rep. Turner said, "This bipartisan legislation takes an important step toward improving care coordination for senior veterans enrolled in both VA services and Medicare. By addressing gaps and enhancing access, it ensures our veterans receive the seamless, high-quality care they deserve."
