The military has approved less than 10% of medical malpractice claims since 2020
BLUF – The article reports that, under a 2019 law allowing active-duty service members to file medical malpractice claims against the military, fewer than 10% of the 764 claims submitted since 2020 have been approved for compensation. While the program was intended to provide a remedy for patients harmed by negligence in military treatment facilities, critics argue that the approval rate, lengthy review process, and lack of transparency have limited its effectiveness and left many families dissatisfied with the outcomes. Defense Health Agency officials maintain that claims are evaluated under established legal and medical standards, but advocates continue to push for reforms to improve accountability and access to compensation.
