What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Veterans Patient Advocacy Act," aims to amend title 38 of the United States Code. It specifically focuses on improving how patient advocates are assigned at Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities. The legislation seeks to ensure that rural veterans have access to these services. This includes assigning advocates to rural community-based outpatient clinics where practicable. The Secretary of Veterans Affairs must implement these changes within two years. Finally, a GAO report is required to evaluate the implementation after that two-year period.
