DEFENSE HEALTH PROGRAMS: Sharing of DOD Aeromedical Evacuation System With VA Could Reduce costs

Abstract

During this review, we noted that an opportunity for such sharing is currently available between the United States Air Force (USAF) Regional Hospital (Elmendorf Air Force Base) and the VA Outpatient Clinic, both in Anchorage, Alaska. Savings to the government could result if the militarys aeromedical evacuation system could be used to transport VA beneficiaries in Alaska to both military and VA hospitals in the continental United States (CONUS).
