Extension of Provider Reimbursement
Demonstration Project for the State of

Department of Defense (DoD).
Notice of demonstration
extension.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: This notice provides an
extension of the demonstration project
in the State of Alaska for individual
provider payment rates. Under the
demonstration, payment rates for
physicians and other non-institutional
individual professional providers in the
State of Alaska have been set at a rate
higher than the Medicare rate.
DATES: The demonstration regarding
payment rates for physicians and other
non-institutional providers is extended
through December 31, 2012.
ADDRESSES: TRICARE Management
Activity (TMA), Medical Benefits and
Reimbursement Branch, 16401 East
Centretech Parkway, Aurora, CO 80011–
9066.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Glenn J. Corn, TRICARE Management
Activity, Medical Benefits and
Reimbursement Branch, telephone (303)
676–3566.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
November 20, 2006, DoD published a
notice of a TRICARE demonstration
project for the State of Alaska, with an
effective date of January 1, 2007 (71 FR
67113), to set payment rates for
physicians and other non-institutional
individual professional providers in the
State of Alaska at a rate higher than the
Medicare rate. The demonstration was
effective January 1, 2007 for a period of
three years, ending on December 31,
2009. On December 18, 2009, DoD
published a Notice of demonstration
extension (74 FR 67179) that extended
the demonstration through December
31, 2010. The DoD has determined that
increasing provider payment rates
(factor rate increase) in Alaska, across
all services, has shown mixed results on
provider participation, beneficiary
access to care, cost of health care
services, military readiness, and morale
and welfare. Due to recent Health Care
Reform legislation (section 5104, Pub. L.
111–148), creating an interagency task
force to assess and improve access to
health care in the State of Alaska, the
Agency has determined further
extension of the Demonstration is
needed pending receipt of the Task
Force’s report. The report is due to
Congress no later than 180 days after the
date of enactment of the Act that details
