Newest Requirement:
Coverage Until Age 26
• Health Reform Law included provision that health
plans must provide coverage to adult children
(those less than 26 years old)
• Provision not applicable to TRICARE
• Legislation (HR 4923 and S 3201) has been
introduced to extend TRICARE to this population
and authorizes the collection of premiums “not to
exceed the cost of coverage”
• Proposed rules under the Health Care Reform Law will
not allow insurance companies to charge a separate
premium
How Much Will This Cost?
• Unless the legislation changes, the department,
in coordination with OMB will need to decide
what portion of the costs will be charged as
premiums
• Four options have been analyzed:
•
•
•
•
No separate premium
28% premium (same as TRS, FEHBP)
50% premium
100% premium (no cost to the Department)
• Total cost to DoD depends on premium amount
and take rate
Efficiency Initiatives
“What Are We Doing?”
MHS Savings
Initiatives Developed Prior to FY 2011 PB
Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS):
The 2002 National Defense Authorization Act directs that TRICARE
payment methods for institutional care shall be determined, to the
extent practical, in accordance with the same reimbursement rules
used by Medicare
Based on these statutory mandates, TRICARE adopted Medicare’s
OPPS reimbursement methodology for certain outpatient procedures
on May 1, 2009
The estimated savings to be realized within the DHP assume a 4year phase-in of these rates for network hospitals and a 3-year
phase-in for non-network hospitals
Current Estimate of Savings:
FY 2010: $688M
FY 2011: $793M
MHS Savings
Initiatives Developed Prior to FY 2011 PB
Federal Ceiling Pricing (FCP):
The 2008 National Defense Authorization Act authorized the
procurement of pharmaceuticals under the TRICARE retail
pharmacy program. This will make any prescription filled on or
after January 28, 2008 subject to Federal pricing, which is
significantly lower than regular retail prices.
FCP will be achieved through refunds from pharmaceutical
manufacturers on a quarterly basis. Refunds in FY 2010 are
projected to be $376M. It is uncertain when retroactive refunds
covering the period of 28 January 2008 through 26 May 2009
(date of the Final Rule) will (may) be received.
Current Estimate of Savings:
FY 2010: $376M
FY 2011: $434M
Other TRICARE Cost Saving Initiatives
Prior to FY2011
•Mail Order Marketing
•
Educating beneficiaries on the convenience and cost savings associated
with having prescriptions filled by mail instead of retail
•Innovation Investment Program
•
Investing seed money in significant projects that will have positive ROIs
•T-3 Contracts
•
Restructured purchase of health care services to reduce administrative
costs
•Direct Care Prospective Payment System
•
Incentivizing the Direct Care System by basing budgets on performance
rather than historical funding
•VA/DoD Sharing
•
Taking advantage of economies of scale with other Federal health service
providers
•BRAC
• Reducing and consolidating unneeded capacity
22
FY2011 Proposed TRICARE
Cost Saving Initiatives
•Acceleration of standardization with Medicare payment policies
• Reducing time from Medicare implementation of payment changes
to TRICARE implementation
•Fraud Waste and Abuse
• Hiring increased personnel for detection and prosecution of
fraudulent health care claims
•Supply Chain Standardization (2011 proposal)
• Improving purchasing within the direct care system through
standardization
•Patient Centered Medical Homes
• Emphasis on prevention, access, and per capita costs

Overview: TRICARE Fees
•
Total budget for healthcare in the department exceeds $51B for FY 2011
•
•
•
Includes O&M, military personnel, procurement, R&D, MILCON, and contributions to the
Medicare Eligible Retiree fund to support TRICARE for Life
Projected estimates indicate healthcare will be over 10% of DoD top-line by 2015
Beneficiary fees (PRIME enrollment, co-pays, deductibles have not risen since
mid-1990s)
•
•
Beneficiary cost share now less than half of what they were when TRICARE was initiated
Meanwhile, civilian employee premium shares have increased dramatically
•
•
Example: Federal Employee BC/BS employee premiums increased 249% from $1,380 to $4,812/year
Efforts to rebalance cost shares were proposed in FY 2007, 2008 and 2009 budgets
•
•
•
Increase enrollments fees, deductibles, and pharmacy and care co-pays
Did not impact AD or ADD (other than retail/mail order pharmacy co-pays)
Congressionally directed Task Force on Future of Military Healthcare recommended fee
increases similar to DoD’s position
•
Congressional action stopped savings and froze fees (ended Sep 30 2009)
•
FY 2010 and current FY 2011 Budget assumes no fee change
•
NDAA 2010 did not freeze enrollment or co-pay fees, but clear indication that fee
increases were not supported by Congress
28
Details of Previous Proposals
• Initial Proposal – FY 2007 President’s Budget
• Increase Prime Enrollment fees, Standard deductibles
• Based on rank – Officer, Senior Enlisted, Junior Enlisted
• Institute Standard Enrollment Fee
• Based on rank
• Adjust Pharmacy co-pays
• Incentivize mail order
• Savings: $11B over five years
• FY 2008
• Assumed similar savings to FY2007 budget
• No specifics on increases in fees
• Awaiting Task Force proposal
• FY 2009
• Submitted proposal based on Task Force proposal
• Similar increases, but based on retired pay level - <$20K, $20K-$40K,
>$40K
• Savings: $10B over five years
• FY 2010
• No savings assumed for FY 2010 from increased fees

• “…the dilemmas we face today in
providing for – and paying for – our
national defense.”
• “Leaving aside the sacred obligation we

decade ago to roughly $50 billion –
roughly the entire foreign affairs and
assistance budget of the State
Department.”
