Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary objective of the military health system, which includes the Defense Department's hospitals, clinics, and medical personnel, is to maintain the health of military personnel so they can carry out their military missions and to be prepared to deliver health care during wartime. The military health system also covers dependents of active duty personnel, military retirees and their dependents, including some members of the reserve components. The military health system provides health care services through either Department of Defense (DOD) medical facilities, known as “military treatment facilities” or “MTFs” as space is available, or through private health care providers. The military health system currently includes some 56 hospitals and 365 clinics serving 9.7 million beneficiaries. It operates worldwide and employs some 58,369 civilians and 86,007 military personnel. Since 1966, civilian care to millions of dependents and retirees (and retirees' dependents) has been provided through a program still known in law as the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS), but more commonly known as TRICARE. TRICARE has four main benefit plans: a health maintenance organization option (TRICARE Prime), a preferred provider option (TRICARE Extra), a fee-for-service option (TRICARE Standard), and a Medicare wrap-around option (TRICARE for Life) for Medicare-eligible retirees. Other TRICARE plans include TRICARE Young Adult, TRICARE Reserve Select and TRICARE Retired Reserve. TRICARE also includes a pharmacy program and optional dental plans. Options available to beneficiaries vary by the beneficiary's duty status and location. This report answers several frequently asked questions about military health care, including: How is the military health system structured? What is TRICARE? What are the different TRICARE plans and who is eligible? What are the costs of military health care to beneficiaries? What is the relationship of TRICARE to Medicare? How does the Affordable Care Act affect TRICARE? What are the long-term trends in defense health care costs? What is the Medicare Eligible Retiree Health Care fund, which funds TRICARE for Life? The Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) have also published important studies on the organization, coordination and costs of the military health system, as well as its effectiveness addressing particular health challenges. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Home Page, available at http://www.health.mil/, may also be of interest for additional information on the military health system.

Book excerpt: High costs, wide beneficiary dissatisfaction, and inadequate readiness for war have stirred widespread interest in changing the military's system of health care. Large sums are at stake because of the military health care system's scope. The Army, Navy, and Air Force run 129 hospitals (medical centers and regional and community hospitals), and several hundred outpatient clinics in the United States. About 9 million people are entitled to use these facilities, including not only the 2.2 million men and women serving on active duty but their roughly 3 million dependents along with about 4 million retired military personnel and their dependents and survivors. Caring for dependents and retirees nonactive beneficiaries in military facilities costs the Defense Department more than $3 billion a year. When nonactive beneficiaries cannot obtain care directly from the armed forces, because a particular medical service is unavailable or because military facilities in general are hard to reach, they may use the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS). CHAMPUS pays a large part of the costs of care obtained from civilian hospitals and doctors. Dependents and retirees can use CHAMPUS whenever they want for outpatient care, but for hospital care those living in a "catchment area"--The area roughly 40 miles around a military hospital must get specific permission from their local military medical commander. In recent years funding for CHAMPUS has tripled, from about $710 million in 1980 to more than $2 billion in 1987. In response, the Administration has put forward the CHAMPUS Reform Initiative (CRI), which has at its core several fixed-price contracts with private health care companies to provide care for beneficiaries who are not on active duty. Though it may save money, CRI also carries a risk of triggering much higher costs.
