This program will allow VA to recoup revenue from 3rd party billing activities, promptly reimburse vendors that provide FEE services, and exchange standardized diagnostic data with such parties as Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), the Center for Disease Control and all other public health organizations.
