Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: TRICARE Prime Enrollment Application/PCM Change Form, DD Form 2876, and TRICARE Prime Disenrollment Application; DD Form 2877; OMB Number 0720–0008. Needs and Uses: This information is collected in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001 (Pub. L. 106–398), section 723(b)(E). These collection instruments serve as applications for enrollment in the Primary Care Manager (PCM) Change and disenrollment from the Department of Defense’s TRICARE Prime programs established in accordance with Title 10 U.S.C. 1099 (which calls for a healthcare enrollment system). Monthly payment options for retiree enrollment fees for TRICARE Prime are established in accordance with Title 10 U.S.C. 1097a(c). The information collected on the TRICARE Prime Enrollment Application/PCM Change form provides the necessary data to determine beneficiary eligibility, to identify the selection of a health care option, and to change the designated PCM when the beneficiary is relocating or merely requests a local PCM change. The information collected on the TRICARE Prime disenrollment form provides the necessary data to disenroll a beneficiary from TRICARE Prime. The disenrollment application is needed to implement disenrollment from TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime Remote or the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan as requested by the enrollee. Failure to provide information will result in continued enrollment and beneficiaries’ responsibility for payment of an enrollment fee. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Annual Burden Hours: 22,317. Number of Respondents: 72,905. Responses Per Respondent: 1. Average Burden Per Response: TRICARE Prime Enrollment Application/PCM Change Form: 20 minutes or .33% of an hour/TRICARE Prime Disenrollment—5 minutes or .083% (average burden per response for completing both forms is 18.36 hours or .30% of an hour). Frequency: On occasion. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Summary of Information Collection The Department of Defense established TRICARE Prime as a managed-care option, similar to a civilian HMO (health maintenance VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:53 Aug 18, 2006 Jkt 208001 organization). Active duty service members are required to be enrolled in TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Prime Remote. They must take action to enroll by filling out the appropriate enrollment form and submitting it to the Managed Care Support Contractor (MCSC). TRICARE Prime is also available to other TRICARE beneficiaries who are also required to fill out the appropriate enrollment or disenrollment forms. TRICARE Prime enrollee’s health care is coordinated by a primary care manager (PCM) whom could be a part of a military treatment facility, a civilian network or TRICARE Prime Remote where eligible. In order to carry out this program, it is necessary that certain beneficiaries electing to enroll/disenroll in TRICARE Prime, TRICARE Prime Remote or change a PCM complete an enrollment application request. Completion of the enrollment form is an essential element of the TRICARE Prime program. Dated: July 31, 2006. Patricia L.
