Surveys will be conducted in a number of locations in the United States each fiscal year from 2012 to 2015. The locations surveyed will include areas where the TRICARE Prime benefit is offered (known as TRICARE PRIME Service Areas) and geographic areas where TRICARE Prime is not offered. These congressionally mandated surveys of civilian health care providers and beneficiaries who use TRICARE will be completed in TRICARE market areas within the United States. Affected Public: Individuals or households. Annual Burden Hours: 4,167. Number of Respondents: 50,000. Responses per Respondent: 1. Average Burden per Response: 5 minutes. Frequency: Annually. Under the authority of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), (OASD(HA)), Defense Health Agency (DHA) will continue to evaluate DoD’s TRICARE Standard health care option. This evaluation includes collecting and analyzing survey-based data that are necessary to meet the requirements outlined originally in Section 711, National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2008, Public Law 110– 181 and reaffirmed in Section 721, National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year (FY) 2012, E:\FR\FM\02JAN1.SGM 02JAN1 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 1 / Friday, January 2, 2015 / Notices Public Law 112–81.

Activities include the collection and analyses of data obtained confidentially from civilian physicians (M.D.s & D.O.s) and non-physician behavioral health providers (to include clinical psychologists, clinical social workers and other TRICARE authorized behavioral health providers) within U.S. geographic areas. Specifically, mail surveys with telephone follow-up of civilian providers will be conducted in the TRICARE market areas to determine how many health care providers are accepting new patients under TRICARE Standard in each market area. The surveys will be conducted in several TRICARE geographic areas in the United States each fiscal year from fiscal year 2012 through and including fiscal year 2016 to complete the 2015 survey. Representatives of TRICARE beneficiaries and selected provider groups will be consulted to identify potential locations. In addition, Section 721 of the FY 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requires the Department to conduct annual surveys of beneficiary access experience and the availability to access civilian providers under TRICARE Standard and Extra program through the same period. These issues address the interests of Congress in reconciliation of responses of providers and beneficiaries who use TRICARE. Surveys of civilian health care providers (M.D.s, D.O.s and nonphysician behavioral health providers) and beneficiaries eligible for TRICARE Standard/Extra care will be conducted in areas where TRICARE Prime is offered and where it is not offered each year. The objective of this effort is to determine if TRICARE beneficiaries have difficulty in finding health care providers willing to provide services under Standard or Extra, and the extent to which providers in the area participate in Standard/Extra. asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Dated: December 29, 2014.
