The Medical Care Cost Recovery National Database (MCCR NDB) provides a repository of summary Medical Care Collections Fund (MCCF) billing and collection information used by program management to compare facility performance. It stores summary information for Veterans Health Administration (VHA) receivables including the number of receivables and their summarized status information. This database is used to monitor the status of the VHA's collection process and to provide visibility on the types of bills and collections being done by the Department. The objective of the VA MCCF Program is to collect reimbursement from third party health insurers and co-payments from certain non-service-connected (NSC) Veterans for the cost of medical care furnished to Veterans. Legislation has authorized VHA to: submit claims to and recover payments from Veterans' third party health insurance carriers for treatment of non-service-connected conditions; recover co-payments from certain Veterans for treatment of non-service-connected conditions; and recover co-payments for medications from certain Veterans for treatment of non-service-connected conditions. All of the information captured in the MCCR NDB is derived from the Accounts Receivable (AR) modules running at each medical center. MCCR NDB is not used for official collections figures; instead, the Department uses the Financial Management System (FMS).
