Final rule · 2025-10435

Reporting to the National Practitioner Data Bank

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) adopts as final, without changes, a proposed rule to remove its regulations governing the National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB). Instead, VA will rely on Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) regulations that govern the NPDB, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between VA and HHS, and VA policy and procedures.
