REPORT BY THE



Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES





Health Care Needs Of Veterans

In Puerto Rico And The Virgin

Islands Should Be Assessed



The Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs
&;ked GAO to review !wo VA programs to
provide medical care to veterans living in
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands who have
nonservice-connected disabilities.

A disproportiona.e share of VA resources is
going to non-VA hospitals because of lack of
alternative facilities and other reasons.

A decision on the future of the contract
hospital and fee-basis program cannot
be made without assessing the total health
care needs of veterans in Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands. GAO recommends that the
Congress direct VA to make this assessment
and also recommends several improvements
to the program.
