ACTION: Notice of a Military Health Risk
Management demonstration project.
SUMMARY: This notice is to advise
interested parties of a Military Health
System (MHS) demonstration project
entitled ‘‘Military Health Risk
Management Demonstration Project’’.
This demonstration project, which will
be available for participation by select
non-Medicare eligible, retired TRICAREeligible beneficiaries, and their family
members, is designed to evaluate the
efficacy of providing incentives to
encourage healthy behaviors on the part
of these MHS beneficiaries.
DATES: Effective Date: This
demonstration will be effective from
October 1, 2009, until February 28,
2012.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr.
Barry Cohen, Director of Healthcare
Operations—TRICARE Management
Activity, 5111 Leesburg Pike, Suite 810,
Falls Church, VA 22041–3206;
telephone (703) 681–7515.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
Health Risk Management involves
utilizing a self-reported health risk
assessment to identify areas where
TRICARE beneficiaries may be at risk to
develop certain chronic illnesses. The
questionnaire covers a wide range of
lifestyle behaviors and health issues. In
addition, physiological and biometric
measures such as blood pressure,
glucose level, lipids, nicotine use, and
weight are also considered to aid in
determining the overall level of risk for
chronic disease. This demonstration
project will assess the effects of
providing incentives along with
wellness programs and healthy
behaviors and lifestyle practices among
non-Medicare-eligible retired
beneficiaries and their family members
who are enrolled in TRICARE Prime.
B. National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2009 (FY09)
Military Health Risk Management
Directive
Section 712 of the NDAA for FY09
requires the Department to develop a
wellness assessment to be offered to
beneficiaries enrolled in the
demonstration project. The wellness
assessment will incorporate nationally
recognized standards for health and
healthy behaviors, will be offered to
determine a baseline assessment, and
will be repeated at appropriate intervals.
The wellness assessment will include a
self-reported health risk assessment,
physiological, and biometric measures;
including at least blood pressure,

glucose level, lipids, nicotine use and
weight. Non-Medicare-eligible retired
beneficiaries of the MHS and their
dependents who are enrolled in
TRICARE Prime and who reside in the
demonstration project service areas will
be offered the opportunity to enroll in
the demonstration project. The
demonstration project will be conducted
in at least three geographic areas within
the United States where TRICARE Prime
is offered. The area covered by the
project will be referred to as the
demonstration project service area.
Programs will be developed to assist
enrollees to improve healthy behaviors,
as identified by the wellness
assessment. For the purpose of
conducting the demonstration project,
monetary and/or nonmonetary
incentives will be offered to enrollees to
encourage participation in the
demonstration project.
C. Description of Demonstration Project
The Military Health Risk Management
demonstration project will be conducted
to evaluate whether monetary incentives
in conjunction with wellness programs
will encourage healthy behaviors among
non-Medicare-eligible retired
beneficiaries and their family members
who are enrolled in TRICARE Prime and
reside in the demonstration project
service areas. The duration of the
project will be approximately 3 years.
There will be a monetary incentive
award to enrollees for full participation
in this project of an amount equivalent
to 50 percent of the annual TRICARE
Prime enrollment fee ($230/family or
$115/individual).
For the purpose of this study, at least
one demonstration project service area
will encompass a military treatment
facility (MTF), and the others will
encompass areas supported exclusively
by purchased care. The National Naval
Medical Center, Medical Homes
Program, Bethesda, MD, has been
selected as the MTF demonstration
project service area; the Designated
Provider Programs at Martin’s Point,
Portland, ME, and CHRISTUS Health,
Houston, TX, have been selected as the
purchased care demonstration project
service areas.
D. Implementation
Each site will be responsible for
identifying a cohort of retired
beneficiaries and their family members
who are enrolled in TRICARE Prime and
are non-Medicare-eligible to participate
in the demonstration. Following the
enrollment period, the site will
maintain the demographic, clinical, and
other data required to evaluate the
effectiveness of the demonstration. The
