In the latest episode of Veteran Oversight Now, a VA OIG healthcare inspection hotline director discusses allegations that some patients’ behavioral health consults were being discontinued at the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center, which resulted in some significant delays in patients receiving recommended behavioral health services. This podcast edition also includes highlights of the VA OIG’s work from May 2024.
