WASHINGTON, D.C. - Chairman Matt Rosendale (MT-02) led the House Veterans Affairs Committee's Subcommittee on Technology Modernization Oversight hearing titled: "VA’s Open Cash Register: Fraud, Waste, Abuse and Revenue Operations."
Chairman Rosendale discussed the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Program Integrity Tool (PIT), which consolidates community care payment data to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse and to manage billing for non-service-connected care. He emphasized the need for the VA to provide answers and accountability, particularly in light of a projected $12 billion shortfall in the Veterans Health Administration’s (VHA) budget for next year.
Key Background:
Due to technical defects in PIT, the VA halted its use in early 2023, leading to uncollected revenue, fraud, and waste. The Office of Inspector General estimated over $665 million in uncollected revenue.
