The bill aims to enhance veterans' mental health care by establishing a preferred provider list of health care providers trained in suicide prevention. It requires the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to offer evidence-based training and maintains a list of providers who complete this training. Providers can opt out and are annually reviewed. The Secretary must report to Congress on provider training, the list's implementation, veterans using the list, and recommendations for improvement. This report will be submitted within 180 days of the bill's enactment and annually thereafter. The bill impacts veterans' access to mental health care outside the VA system.
