Book excerpt: " DOD provides certain health care services through its TRICARE Program, which complements the health care services provided in military treatment facilities. DOD acquires these health care services through MCSCs with private sector companies. As of October 1, 2013, DOD's Defense Health Agency is responsible for awarding, administering, and overseeing TRICARE's MCSCs. Prior to this date TMA handled these duties. DOD's health care costs have more than doubled from $19 billion in fiscal year 2001 to its fiscal year 2014 budget request of more than $49 billion. Senate Report 112-173, which accompanied a version of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013, cited concerns with the growth of DOD's health care costs and identified private sector health care contracts as an area for potential savings and efficiencies. The Senate report mandated that GAO review DOD's process for acquiring TRICARE's MCSCs. This report examines: (1) TMA's acquisition process to award TRICARE's third generation MCSCs; (2) the extent to which issues were raised in the bid protests involving these MCSCs, including identifying any common themes; and (3) lessons learned from the acquisition process to award these MCSCs and how these lessons may be used in future acquisitions.

Book excerpt: In 1994, the Department of Defense (DoD) began a journey, to merge the Military Health System (MHS) with the concept of the Managed Care Support Contractor (MCSC). The DoD managed health care program, called TRICARE, includes the competitive selection of contractors to financially underwrite the delivery of civilian health care services with a uniform, stabilized benefit structure, triple option health benefit features, and a regionally-based health care management system. The goals of TRICARE are to maintain medical readiness, improve access to care, provide a secure quality health care benefit, provide a choice of health care options, and contain DOD health care costs. The Managed Care Support (MCS) contracts are fixed-price contracts, with risk-sharing features and a bid price adjustment process designed to periodically substitute projected/estimated health care costs with actual health care costs. MCS contracts are 5 1/2 year contracts, with a 6-month phase-in period prior to start-up of delivery of health care services, followed by 5 1-year option periods. This thesis will explore the bid price adjustment process within the MCS contract, and the Government's methodology used to project/estimate health care costs for use by offerors in the bidding process. Selected as an example for discussion is the Regions 3 and 4 MCS contract. This thesis explores whether the Government, in choosing and engaging a methodology for projecting/estimating health care costs, should have instead chosen another methodology or path; i.e., "the road not taken."
