Book Description
The establishment of uniform benefits and cost sharing for Defense Department (DOD) beneficiaries is a key component of the TRICARE program and is something that GAO and others have long advocated. Such uniformity would, in GAO's view, eliminate inequities and confusion that now exist among beneficiaries of military health plans. Although adopting TRICARE cost shares may cause some minor adverse selection for the Uniformed Services Treatment Facilities (USTF), there should be no lasting negative financial impact on its operations. Moreover, the new cost shares, which are similar to health maintenance organizations, are appropriate for the risks to be borne by the USTFs and will likely make the USTF population more similar to DOD's general beneficiary population. More importantly, there should be a financial impact. DOD's current USTF capitation methodology takes into account and allows for adjusted reimbursement levels for such higher costs that result from changes in the enrollee cost shares and population characteristics.

Book Description
The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that works for Congress. The GAO watches over Congress, and investigates how the federal government spends taxpayers dollars. The Comptroller General of the United States is the leader of the GAO, and is appointed to a 15-year term by the U.S. President. The GAO wants to support Congress, while at the same time doing right by the citizens of the United States. They audit, investigate, perform analyses, issue legal decisions and report anything that the government is doing. This is one of their reports.

Book Description
Since fiscal year 1994, Congress has appropriated nearly $1 billion for the Uniformed Services Treatment Facilities (USTF) to deliver health care to what now totals 124,000 beneficiaries. In recent years, Congress has grown concerned about the rising cost to treat USTF members, in part because some members retain dual eligibility and unrestricted access to other government health care services, such as Medicare and Defense Department (DOD) hospitals. Congress directed DOD in 1991 to reform the USTF program by introducing a managed care program. As DOD begins to implement its new nationwide managed care program, known as TRICARE, questions about the program's future persist. This report discusses (1) whether unnecessary costs result from USTF members' use of other federally funded health care sources and (2) other issues that need to be considered as Congress deliberates reauthorization of the USTF program.
