Defense Health Care: Implementation Issues for New TRICARE Contracts and Regional Structure
The Department of Defense (DOD) provides health care through
TRICARE--a regionally structured program that uses civilian
contractors to maintain provider networks to complement health
care provided at military treatment facilities (MTF). In 2004,
DOD implemented extensive changes to its TRICARE contracts and
regional structure. A committee report accompanying the Ronald W.
Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005
directed GAO to provide information on implementation issues for
(1) the new TRICARE contracts and (2) the new regional structure.
This report also provides information on the new management tools
used to assess (3) contractors' performance and (4) program
performance at the MTF and regional levels.
