(b)(2) of this section, other benefit

D. National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) 2007 Disease Management
Directives
The NDAA 2007 section 734 requires
the design and development of a fully
integrated program on disease and
chronic care management for the
military health care system that
provides uniform policies and practices
on disease and chronic care
management throughout the TRICARE
network by October 1, 2007. The NDAA
2007 further states the program ‘‘shall
include strategies for disease and
chronic care management for all
beneficiaries, including beneficiaries
eligible for benefits under the Medicare
program under title XVIII of the Social
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.), for
whom the TRICARE program is not the
primary payer for health care benefits.’’
The purposes of the MHS DM
programs, as stated in the NDAA 2007,
are to facilitate the improvement of the
health status of individuals under care
in the military health care system, to
ensure the availability of effective
health care services for individuals with
diseases and other chronic conditions,
and to ensure the proper allocation of
health care resources for individuals
who need care for disease or other
chronic conditions. The NDAA 2007
mandates the DM program to address, at
a minimum, the following chronic
diseases and conditions: Diabetes,
cancer, heart disease, asthma, chronic
obstructive pulmonary disorder, and
depression and anxiety disorders.
E. Description of Demonstration Project
Under this demonstration, DoD will
waive, for disease management services
provided to TRICARE Standard
beneficiaries, the provisions of 10 U.S.C.
1079(a)(13) and 32 CFR 199.4(g)(39) that
expressly exclude clinical preventive
services for TRICARE Standard
beneficiaries in the current benefit. The
MHS will enroll TRICARE Standard

beneficiaries in its DM programs. DM
services provided to Standard
beneficiaries will include, but are not
limited to: Clinical preventive
examinations, patient education and
counseling services, and periodic
screening exams.
There will be a cap on MHS DM
program costs not to exceed the amount
approved by the contracting officer. The
DM program costs are total costs of DM
services provided to both Prime and
Standard beneficiaries. Only those
beneficiaries identified by TRICARE
Management Activity (TMA) for disease
management of asthma, congestive heart
failure, and diabetes are included in the
current program, with other diseases or
conditions to be added in the future as
funding permits. The beneficiaries
identified by TMA are included in the
DM program unless the beneficiary
chooses to opt out.
This action will directly reduce
variation across the system and result in
improved consistency and quality for
beneficiaries with targeted chronic
illness, regardless of TRICARE
classification. Furthermore, including
TRICARE Standard beneficiaries in
current DM efforts will inform the MHS
about total potential savings and return
on investment (ROI) associated with
DM, a stated requirement for inclusion
in the Congressional report per the
NDAA 2007. The system-wide DM
program will improve the quality of care
by educating patients about their
disease and helping them manage their
symptoms, thereby avoiding many
complications and possibly slowing the
progression of their chronic disease,
thus resulting in significant cost
savings.
F. Implementation
The demonstration is effective on
April 1, 2007.
G. Evaluation
An independent evaluation of the
demonstration will be conducted. The
evaluation will be designed to use a
combination of administrative and
survey measures of health care
outcomes (clinical, utilization, financial,
and humanistic measures) to provide
analyses and comment on the
effectiveness of the demonstration in
meeting its goal of providing uniform
disease management policies and
practices across the MHS.
