Activity, Office of the Chief Medical
Officer (703) 681–6173.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As a result
of Section 734 0f the 2007 National
Defense Authorization Act, the MHS
implemented uniform policies and
practices for DM throughout the
TRICARE network. To include the
Standard beneficiaries, who could not
receive many of the services that are the
cornerstone of DM per the Basic Benefit
Regulations, a two year demonstration
notice was published June 13 2007 (72
FR 32628–32629). The demonstration
project provided for measuring the
effectiveness of the DM programs in
improving the health of TRICARE
beneficiaries with chronic conditions. In
addition, it allowed the MHS to identify
best practices for improving the care
management services for individuals
with chronic conditions. The
demonstration was extended twice. On
March 16, 2009 a notice (74 FR 11089–
11090) was published that extended the
demonstration through March 31, 2011
and on March 4, 2011 (76 FR 12081–
12082) further extended the
demonstration through March 31, 2013.
For several years, TRICARE has been
evaluating the best way to provide
assistance to people with certain
chronic medical conditions. Based on
TRICARE’s evaluation of best health
care practices, we found that chronic
medical conditions are best managed as
a routine part of good medical practice,
and when structured to fit the
individual beneficiary’s circumstances
and their specific health plan. Multiple
analyses of the DM program were
conducted, and in that same time period
other studies for similar programs were
piloted nationally that provided
additional insight. The results of these
analyses and literature reviews provided
identification of evidence-based best
practices that support the future
direction of the MHS disease and
chronic condition management
programs. These best practices include
team based—provider directed care,
care coordination, self-management
education and transitional care services
that target at risk populations, have
access to timely data, close interactions
with care coordinators and primary care
physicians, face-to-face contact with
individuals involved in their own care,
and supported by practices
predominantly staffed by registered
nurses.
Given the focus with the primary care
provider in moving forward with
disease and chronic care management,
and the lack of a defined provider for
the Standard beneficiaries, TMA has
determined that the best course is for
VerDate Mar<14>2013
17:37 Mar 14, 2013
Jkt 229001
the Standard beneficiaries to receive
disease and chronic care management
direction from the provider of their
choosing. TMA envisions the following
scenarios related to the distinct
structures of the health care benefit
within TRICARE (Direct Care through
the Military Treatment Facilities,
Private Sector Care through contracted
and non-contracted network providers,
the US Family Health Plans etc.),
chronic care management based on the
above mentioned best-practices will be
available to beneficiaries and adapted
based on these factors. The DM services
will also take into consideration the
different benefit plans available (Prime,
which operates like an HMO and
requires enrollment with a primary care
provider, vs. Standard which functions
as a fee-for-service plan), and will
modify the chronic care services
provided to best match that plan. For
example, Prime beneficiaries enrolled at
an MTF would receive their services
through a Patient-Centered Medical
Home (where available). A Prime
beneficiary enrolled to the network
would receive DM services provided
through the Managed Care Support
Contractor’s program. A Standard
beneficiary not enrolled to a primary
care provider, would receive disease
and chronic care management from their
chosen provider inside or outside the
network, and would have access to
disease specific educational information
through the regional contractor Web
sites or TRICARE online. Since the
standard beneficiaries are not required
to enroll with a primary care provider,
and there is no visibility to the services
they receive outside the network, it is
not practicable to determine if they are
receiving the recommended bestpractices, and in turn to measure
outcomes and determine effectiveness of
care. As a result, it has been determined
that Standard beneficiaries are best
served being care-managed by the
provider of their choosing; the provider
being familiar with the Standard
beneficiaries gaps in care and on-going
needs.
TMA has developed a strategic plan
for the on-going provision of disease
and chronic care management services,
based on the evidence-based best
practices noted above, and have
determined that the need for this
demonstration has ceased. It is
important to note that the end of this
demonstration does not change the basic
benefit for the Standard beneficiaries;
they will continue to have access to all
the services identified in 32 CFR 199.4.
