DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
Autism Services Demonstration
Project for TRICARE Beneficiaries
Under the Extended Care Health
Option
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary,
Department of Defense.
ACTION: Notice.
SUMMARY: This notice provides a 2-year
extension of the Department of Defense
Enhanced Access to Autism Services
Demonstration Project under the
Extended Care Health Option for
beneficiaries diagnosed with an Autism
Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Under the
demonstration, the Department
implemented a provider model that
allows reimbursement for Intensive
Behavioral Intervention (IBI) services, in
particular, Applied Behavior Analysis,
rendered by providers who are not
otherwise eligible for reimbursement.
DATES: The demonstration will continue
through March 14, 2012.
ADDRESSES: TRICARE Management
Activity, Medical Benefits and
Reimbursement Branch, 16401 East
Centretech Parkway, Aurora, CO 80011–
9066.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Michael Kottyan, TRICARE
Management Activity, Medical Benefits

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

sroberts on DSKD5P82C1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 38 / Friday, February 26, 2010 / Notices
Defense published a Notice in the
Federal Register (FR) (72 FR 68130) of
a TRICARE demonstration to increase
access to IBI services.
The effective date was 60 days
following publication of the Notice, and
the demonstration was implemented on
March 15, 2008 for a period of 2 years.
The purpose of the demonstration is to
allow the Department to determine
whether such a provider model
increases access to services, the services
are reaching those most likely to benefit
from them, the quality of the services
rendered meets the standard of care
currently accepted by the community of
providers, and whether State
requirements for licensure or
certification of providers of IBI services,
where such exists, are being met. The
Demonstration began enrolling
beneficiaries and developing the
network of providers of IBI services on
March 15, 2008. Subsequently, the
Department determined that
participation by both beneficiaries and
providers was considerably less than
expected due primarily to
administrative requirements of the
demonstration. In response, the
Department developed and published
revised operational guidance in
September 2008. Although preliminary
review indicates the demonstration can
provide a measurable increase in access
to IBI services, the need to modify our
guidance contributed to a 6 month delay
in evaluating the effectiveness of the
demonstration. In addition, the
Department recognizes that the subject
of ASDs is complex, in particular, with
respect to the number of individuals
diagnosed with ASD, the treatment of
ASD that generally includes several
years of behavior modification through
educational services, and the ability of
the provider community to increase the
number of qualified providers.
Consequently, the Department has
determined that continuation of the
demonstration is both in the best
interest of TRICARE beneficiaries
diagnosed with an ASD, and necessary
to collect sufficient comprehensive data,
including the results of the recent
survey of beneficiaries and providers
participating in the demonstration, in
order to fully evaluate the effectiveness
of the delivery model employed by the
demonstration. This extension will
determine whether the demonstration
met its stated purpose and provide the
Department with the information
necessary to make sound judgments
regarding payment of benefits. The
demonstration continues to be
authorized by 10 U.S.C. 1092.
