TRICARE benefits. Users are comprised of Military Health System (MHS) 
customer service personnel, to include Beneficiary Counseling and 
Assistance Coordinators, Debt Collection Assistance Officers, 
personnel, family support, recruiting command, case managers, and 
others who serve in a customer service support role. The ART is also 
the primary means by which DHA-Great Lakes staff capture medical 
authorization determinations and claims assistance information for 
remotely located service members, line of duty care, and for care under 
the Transitional Care for Service-related Conditions benefit. ART data 
reflects the customer service mission within the MHS: It helps customer 
service staff prioritize and manage their case workload; it allows 
users to track beneficiary inquiry workload and resolution, of which a 
major component is educating beneficiaries on their TRICARE benefits.
