Timely access to outpatient care was a primary driver behind the Veterans Health Administration’s increased purchase of community-based care under the Choice Act. To compare veterans’ experiences in VA-delivered and community-based outpatient care after Choice implementation, we compared veterans’ scores on four dimensions of experience—access, communication, coordination, and provider rating—for outpatient specialty, primary, and mental health care received 2016–2017. Patient experiences were better for VA than community care in all respects except access. For specialty care, access scores were better in the community; and for primary and mental health care, access scores were similar in the two settings. While all specialty care scores and the primary care coordination score improved over time, the gaps between settings did not shrink. As purchased care further expands under the MISSION Act, monitoring of meaningful differences between settings should continue, with the results used to inform both VA purchasing decisions and patients’ care choices.
