The VA Southern Arizona Health Care System, subsidiary 678GG in Tucson, Arizona scheduled 2,298 pending appointments in August compared to 2,595 the previous month, according to data collected from the U.S. Department of Veteran s Affairs.
Of the total number of appointments, 2,256 had a wait time of 30 days or less (98.2%) and 42 appointments (1.8%) were scheduled more than 30 days out.
A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) in January 2019 reported that wait times for new appointments at VA health care facilities were similar to or better than wait times at private-sector providers between 2014 and 2017.
The Government Accountability Office (GAO), however, released a report in July 2019 that cautioned that the VA s data-tracking system only captures part of the appointment process and fails to account for the time that it takes the VA to enroll veterans in its health benefits program.
