Web-Based Mental Health Care
Demonstration Project
Department of Defense.
Notice of a Web-based TRICARE
Assistance Program Demonstration
Project.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
This Notice is to advise
interested parties of a Military Health
System (MHS) demonstration project,
under the authority of Title 10, U.S.
Code, Section 1092, entitled Web-Based
TRICARE Assistance Program. The
demonstration project will use existing
managed care support contracts (MCSC)
to provide a Web-based employee
assistance program (EAP) including
counseling and advice services to Active
Duty Service members, their families
members and their dependents enrolled
in TRICARE Reserve Select, and those
eligible for the Transition Assistance
Management Program (TAMP) who
reside in the continental United States.
We are testing the effectiveness of
providing this care.
DATES: Effective Date: This
demonstration project will be effective
August 1, 2009. The demonstration

project will continue until April 1,
2010.
ADDRESSES: TRICARE Management
Activity (TMA), Health Plan Operations,

Church, VA 22041.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
questions pertaining to this
demonstration project, Ms. Kathleen
Larkin, (703) 681–0039.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
a. Background
On page 405 of House Report 2638,
the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act for FY 2009 Joint
Explanatory Statement, Congress stated:
‘‘An area of particular interest is the
provision of appropriate and accessible
counseling to service members and their
families who live in locations that are
not close to military treatment facilities,
other Military Health System facilities,
or TRICARE providers. Web-based
delivery of counseling has significant
potential to offer counseling to
personnel who otherwise might not be
able to access it. Therefore, the
Department is directed to establish and
use a Web-based Clinical Mental Health
Services Program as a way to deliver
critical clinical mental health services to
service members and families in rural
areas.’’
This demonstration is designed to test
the effectiveness and efficiency of
utilizing audio and visual technologies
including Web-based services to provide
our Active Duty Service members, their
families and other beneficiaries
increased access to EAP-like services.
b. Current Status of Access
The Department of Defense currently
provides a robust program of
nonmedical counseling, as well as
mental health care for our Active Duty
Service members and their families. The
Department offers Military One Source
which provides for up to 12 nonmedical
face-to-face counseling sessions per
issue, per counselor. For those needing
medical treatment, we provide
behavioral health care in our military
treatment facilities or through our
TRICARE program.
Our MCSCs currently provide an
array of text and multimedia based
educational materials targeting predeployment, deployment, and postdeployment adjustment concerns. They
also have behavioral health (BH) contact
centers staffed with beneficiary service
representatives and customer service
representatives to provide first and
second level support, triage, and to
make appropriate referrals and locate
providers for Active Duty Service
PO 00000

members and their families. This
demonstration project will expand
access to these behavioral health
services by using audiovisual
telecommunications systems such as
video chat/instant messaging to access
the BH centers. It also expands access to
the Behavioral Health call centers and
EAP-like counseling to those enrolled in
TRICARE Reserve Select.
c. Demonstration Project Description
The MCSCs’ Behavioral Health call
center staff will triage those seeking
help and refer them to an appropriate
level of assistance. This may include
Military One Source, a military
treatment facility, a network provider
for face-to-face care, or for a tele-health
visit from an authorized originating site
facility to a TRICARE authorized
provider’s office. In addition, they may
perform unlimited assessments and
nonmedical counseling or advice using
a Web-based platform to ease access for
Active Duty Service members, their
families, those enrolled in TRICARE
Reserve Select, and TAMP-eligibles.
d. Implementation
This demonstration will be effective
August 1, 2009.
e. Evaluation
An independent evaluation of the
demonstration will be conducted. It will
be performed retrospectively and use a
combination of administrative and
workload measures of behavioral health
care access to provide analyses and
comment on the effectiveness of the
demonstration in meeting its goal of
improving beneficiary access to
behavioral health care by incorporating
Web-based technology.
