Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competitive sourcing is a management tool where federal agencies conduct competitions between federal employees and private companies to determine the best source to provide commercially available services. Concerns have been raised in the Congress that differences in the costs of federal and private health insurance benefits could disadvantage the federal workforce in public-private competitions. A health benefit cost comparability provision in the 2005 Defense Appropriations Act prohibited any advantage for private offerors that provide no health benefits or contribute less for them than the Department of Defense (DOD) contributes for its civilian employees. Legislation is pending to extend the provision for another year. GAO, in response to a mandate, determined (1) how DOD implemented the provision, and (2) what impact the provision had on DOD's fiscal year 2005 competitive sourcing program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To help address DOD's escalating health care costs, in 2013 DOD established the DHA to, among other things, combine common medical services such as medical education and training. DOD trains its servicemembers for a wide variety of medical positions, such as physicians, nurses, therapists, and pharmacists. DHA's Education and Training Directorate is to oversee many aspects of DOD's medical education and training and is now expected to begin operations in August 2014. GAO was mandated to review DOD's efforts to consolidate medical education and training. GAO examined the extent to which DOD has (1) conducted analysis to reform medical education and training to achieve cost savings and (2) determined whether the consolidation of training at METC has resulted in cost savings and designed processes to assess its effectiveness. GAO compared DHA implementation plans and METC budget information from fiscal years 2010 through 2012 with best practices and interviewed officials from the DHA, METC, and military services' Surgeons General offices. GAO recommends that DOD conduct a fully developed business case analysis for the Education and Training Directorate and develop baseline cost information as part of its metrics to assess cost savings for future consolidation efforts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The establishment of uniform benefits and cost sharing for Defense Department (DOD) beneficiaries is a key component of the TRICARE program and is something that GAO and others have long advocated. Such uniformity would, in GAO's view, eliminate inequities and confusion that now exist among beneficiaries of military health plans. Although adopting TRICARE cost shares may cause some minor adverse selection for the Uniformed Services Treatment Facilities (USTF), there should be no lasting negative financial impact on its operations. Moreover, the new cost shares, which are similar to health maintenance organizations, are appropriate for the risks to be borne by the USTFs and will likely make the USTF population more similar to DOD's general beneficiary population. More importantly, there should be a financial impact. DOD's current USTF capitation methodology takes into account and allows for adjusted reimbursement levels for such higher costs that result from changes in the enrollee cost shares and population characteristics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why GAO Did This StudyOver the past decade, the cost of DOD's MHS has increased to almost $50 billion and is expected to double by 2030. Section 731 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 required DOD to provide three submissions detailing its plan to reform its MHS governance structure and also mandated that GAO submit an analysis of DOD's first two submissions. This report addresses the extent to which DOD's March and June 2013 submissions met the statutory requirements and reflect key management practices. GAO compared DOD's submissions for reforming its MHS governance structure with the (1) statutory requirements and (2) key management practices contained in GAO's Business Process Reengineering Assessment Guide and other relevant GAO work. Additionally, GAO interviewed DOD officials from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, the MHS Transition Office, and the military services' Surgeons General offices.What GAO RecommendsTo provide decision makers with more complete information on the implementation of DOD's newly created DHA, GAO recommends that DOD develop and present to Congress fully developed performance measures, interim timelines, and staffing baseline assessments, and refined cost savings estimates. In written responses to this report, DOD"

Book excerpt: " DOD initiated the Study to address perceived weaknesses within the Military Health System and to leverage advances in civilian business practices. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 included a provision for DOD to submit the Study to the congressional defense committees and for GAO to review the Study. DOD submitted its study in February 2016. This report assesses, among other things, the extent to which the Study followed an approach that is consistent with relevant generally accepted research standards and utilized key practices for estimating cost savings. GAO compared the Study with generally accepted research standards that were developed by reviewing research literature and DOD guidance and with key practices derived from cost-estimating guidance. "

Book excerpt: " DOD's health care costs have risen significantly, from $19 billion in fiscal year 2001 to $48.7 billion in its fiscal year 2013 budget request, and are projected to increase to $92 billion by 2030. GAO reviewed DOD's efforts to slow its rising health care costs by changing selected clinical, business, and management practices. Specifically, GAO determined the extent to which DOD has (1) identified initiatives to reduce health care costs and applied results-oriented management practices in developing plans for implementing and monitoring them and (2) implemented its seven medical governance initiatives approved in 2006 and employed key management practices. For this review, GAO analyzed policies, memorandums, directives, and cost documentation, and interviewed officials from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, from the three services, and at each of the sites where the governance initiatives were under way.
