“Coalition Consults” on VA Contracting Programs
The Coalition is proud to offer our latest new resource for our healthcare members, called Coalition Consults. The first set of consults address key contracting programs at the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for medical/surgical supply and medical device companies. They provide basic information about the product scope of each contract and how companies can pursue these contracts including the appropriate VA contacts. Coalition Consults are currently available for the following VA contracts:
- New! VA Durable Medical Equipment (DME) program
- VA Med-Surg Prime Vendor (MSPV) program
- VA & DoD High Tech Medical Equipment (HTME) program
- VA Medical Device Implant program
- VA Non-Expendable (NX) Program

VA Data for Healthcare Members
To increase the number of valuable tools available for members, the Coalition has compiled several data sets pertaining to VA Medical Centers’ procedures, diagnoses, and product spend. Below is a description of the different VA data reports that the Coalition can provide to healthcare members based on areas of interest to their business:
- Diagnosis data by each VA Medical Center: Members can request a report by providing the relevant International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 codes of interest to their business.
- Procedure data by each VA Medical Center: Members can request a report by providing the relevant Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes of interest to their business.
- Prosthetic (medical implants, DME) product spend by VA Medical Center: members can request a report by providing the relevant Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) codes of interest to their business for items managed by VHA Prosthetics.
For any data requests or related questions, please contact Michael Hanafin at mhanafin@thecgp.org.
