VA facilities would install on-site medical waste systems to save money.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) would identify its facilities that could save money by treating medical waste on-site. The VA would then set up and run these systems at those facilities. This could reduce the need for outside medical waste contractors and potentially improve facility efficiency.
Today, Department of Veterans Affairs facilities likely pay outside companies to treat their medical waste off-site. If this bill becomes law, the VA would identify facilities that could save money over a five-year period by treating medical waste on-site. The VA would then install and operate those systems. This change would be based on a cost analysis that compares current off-site contract costs to new on-site treatment costs. Equipment costs would be spread out over ten years.
