miller-meeks: i appreciate it. this is important to get through the backlog, but more importantly to get the stamps scheduled, and it is important for the hospitals and contract vendors you have throughout that process. if i have a little bit more time, chair, i have one brief question. ok. your testimony with the cdc estimates that more than 40% of american adults have delayed or deferred care during the pandemic. the v.a. has been a longtime leader in telehealth, and i think the v.a. was better equipped than many in the industry to grant physician care through virtual mediums over the past year. given what percentage of veterans have delayed over the past year, what are you doing to safely reengage them in care now? sec. mcdonough: that is a question. i do not have potatoes sliced that way, so i can get it for you that way -- i do not have the data sliced that way, so i can get it for you that way. there were 20 million individual appointments that were changed or delayed, and about 96% of those cases, we have be

[applause] and i wish you the best of luck. i look forward to working with you and making sure that we do what you're talking about. we have to make it so this is a country that we all want to continue to live in and our kids and grandkids have the opportunity to live the dream. so the first thing people have asked me since i got into this my first race was 10 years ago why in the world would you do this? i mean, it seems pretty mean-spirited. sometimes you fool like you can't get anything -- you feel like you can't get anything done. and i blame everyt

miller-meeks: thank you so much. i also appreciate the guidance for rescheduling disability exams, if the veteran is a no-show, being a physician, i know how no-shows are costly to your clinic, to your schedule, and to the backlog, and we know that the backlog increased during the pandemic, which is understandable. on tuesday's subcommittee hearing, it was reported that in some cases, contract vendors do not have adequate information for the veterans to contact them, which causes them to miss exams. as a result, the exam inventory increases even greater than one would anticipate during the pandemic, and the examination has to be rescheduled or reordered and they have difficulties contacting the veterans. is the appointment reminder system available for disability exams, and is the v.a. working with the vendors to expand its capability to contract disability exams and reach veterans? sec. mcdonough: that is an excellent question. as i understand it, it is not currently available for exams, but given its success for re
