The United States Government Accountability Office (GAO) has issued a report on the Veterans Administration (VA) Community Care Program.  The VA Community Care Program refers patients to community health care providers, including dentists, when the VA finds its own system cannot provide care in a timely manner.  GAO found that the VA did not adequately monitor whether patients who were referred for community care were seen in a timely manner by community health care providers.  To read the GAO report on the VA Community Care Program, use the first link below.  To read GAO highlights of the report on the VA Community Care Program, use the second link below.
