Providers also testified on their dissatisfaction with the TRICARE program, specifying low reimbursement rates and administrative burdens. The Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act of 2003 required GAO to review the oversight of the TRICARE network of civilian providers. Specifically, GAO describes how the Department of Defense (DOD) oversees the adequacy of the civilian provider network, evaluates DOD's oversight of the civilian provider network, and describes the factors that have been reported to contribute to network inadequacy. GAO analyzed TRICARE Prime--the managed care component of TRICARE. To describe and evaluate DOD's oversight, GAO reviewed and analyzed information from reports on network adequacy and interviewed DOD and contractor officials in 5 of 11 TRICARE regions. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-928/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-928.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-928/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-928.pdf GAO-03-928 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-928 Other Written Product GAO-03-928; Defense Health Care: Oversight of the TRICARE Civilian Provider Network Should Be Improved; Civilian employees Health care facilities Health care programs Health care services Managed health care Reporting requirements Performance measures DOD TRICARE Program Volume 106 Page 2315 106 Stat. 2315 Volume 110 Page 1936 110 Stat. 1936 Volume 116 Page 2458 116 Stat. 2458 Public Law 102-484 Public Law 104-191 Public Law 107-314
