FY 2021 Total Number of Veterans, Veteran VA Users, and Veteran VA Healthcare Users by Race

Notes:

"Total Number of Veterans" represents FY 2021 projected Veteran counts from VA's Veteran Population Projection Model 2020 (VetPop20). These projections represent living Veterans as of 9/30/2021 and are made with the assumption that Veterans are not missing information (e.g., race, etc.).

These counts represent Veterans who used any VA benefit or service during FY 2021 (includes both living and deceased Veterans as of end of FY 2021).

Gulf War - Pre 9/11 Veterans: Trends in Cumulative Users by VA Program

This data set consists of one row per federal fiscal year (FY) from FY 2005 - FY 2019, and reports the number and percent of users each of seven VA programs for Veterans who were in service at any time between August 2, 1990, and September 10, 2001, the dates of the Pre-9/11 Gulf War era. The denominator of percent is the number of living Veterans in the FY. The number and percent of users is cumulative since FY 2005. Thus, for example FY 2006 data includes all Veterans who served in the era, were alive at some time during FY 2006 and participated in the program at any time during FY 2005 and FY 2006.
VA Community Care Comparison  (VAC3)  - FY2021 All Facilities - Formerly Why Not the Best VA

Veteran Farmer Counts and Percentages in California Counties (2015)

The Office of Data Governance and Analysis (DGA) creates statistical data for various Veteran related projects. This table displays the count and percent, by county, of Veterans who are farmers and/or dairymen comparative for the entire state's population of Veteran farmers or dairymen in California for 2015. The data was created from our administrative database U.S. Veterans Eligibility Trends and Statistics (USVETS), for the recent event Apps for Ag Hackathon.  


The U.S. Veterans Eligibility Trends and Statistics (USVETS) is the single integrated dataset of Veteran demographic and socioeconomic data. It provides the most comprehensive picture of the Veteran population possible to support statistical, trend and longitudinal analysis. USVETS has both a static dataset, represents a single authoritative record of all living and deceased Veterans, and fiscal year datasets, represents a snapshot of a Veteran for each fiscal year. USVETS consists mainly of data sources from the Veterans Benefit Administration, the Veterans Health Administration, the Department of Defense’s Defense Manpower Data Center, and other data sources including commercial data sources. This dataset contains information about individual Veterans including demographics, details of military service, VA benefit usage, and more. The dataset contains one record per Veteran. It includes all living and deceased Veterans. USVETS data includes Veterans residing in states, US territories and foreign countries. VA uses this database to conduct statistical analytics, predictive modeling, and other data reporting. USVETS includes the software, hardware, and the associated processes that produce various VA work products and related files for Veteran analytics.
Consolidated Copayment Processing Center (CCPC)

<p>The Consolidated Copayment Processing Center (CCPC) database contains Veteran patient contact and billing information in order to support the printing and mailing of patient billing statements. The CCPC system is designed to handle first-party medical debt billing information. First-party billing is defined as a patient debt for which the patient is responsible for payment (normally co-payment) for health care treatment. This differs from third-party billing where a third party (e.g., insurance company, Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)) is primarily responsible for repaying the VA. CCPC does not handle third-party billing information. The Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture Accounts Receivable (AR) module collects information for CCPC at every Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). A daily batch process is used to collect and transmit the information to the VA Austin Information Technology Center. All collected patient and billing information is kept active on CCPC for a period of one month. A master list containing six months activity is archived for reference should historical information be needed. The users of this database include the VAMCs, Veterans Health Administration Chief Business Office, and the patients who receive billing statements.</p>

Accelerating Access to Care Initiative Pending Appointments - Report 2015 Mar 1

<p>VA is posting regular data updates showing progress on its efforts to accelerate access to quality health care for Veterans who have been waiting for appointments. These access data updates will be posted at the middle and end of each month at VA.gov. The facility-level data show the current status of VA's: 1) New Enrollee Appointment Request (NEAR) List: The total number of newly enrolled Veterans that have asked for an appointment during the enrollment process.  Out of an abundance of caution, VA reviewed the NEAR data from the past decade to identify any individual who:  has enrolled for care since the inception of enrollment,  indicated they desired an appointment on the enrollment form, and has not yet had a scheduled appointment in the VHA health care system. 2) Electronic Wait List (EWL) Count: The total number of all new patients (those who have not been seen in the specific clinic in the previous 24 months) for whom appointments cannot be scheduled in 90 days or less; and 3) Total Appointments Scheduled: Every appointment scheduled at the facility except surgery and medical procedures.  The term 'pending' has replaced the term 'prospective,' which predicts the availability of scheduled appointments in the future for new Veterans on a given date, and the term 'completed' replaced the term 'retrospective,' which indicates when appointments actually occurred.</p>
