ACTION: Notice of demonstration project. AGENCY: The Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs issues this notice announcing the creation of a demonstration to cover the services of three new classes of extra-medical TRICARE-authorized providers: certified labor doulas (CLDs), certified lactation consultants, and certified lactation counselors. The demonstration also adds childbirth support services, provided by CLDs, as a benefit under TRICARE and expands the existing breastfeeding counseling benefit to include group breastfeeding counseling sessions. The demonstration will SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 commence January 1, 2022, and will be conducted for a period of 5 years covering eligible beneficiaries in the 50 United States and District of Columbia. Eligible beneficiaries in overseas locations will be covered under the demonstration beginning January 1, 2025, until termination of the demonstration project. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erica Ferron, 303–676–3626, erica.c.ferron.civ@mail.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background The purpose of the demonstration is to study the impact of adding these providers and services on cost, quality of care, and maternal and fetal outcomes for the TRICARE population, as required by Section 746 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (NDAA–2021). The demonstration will also study the appropriateness and administrative feasibility of making coverage under the TRICARE Program permanent. In the NDAA–2021, enacted January 1, 2021 (Pub. L. 116–283), Congress directed the Secretary of Defense to carry out a demonstration project to evaluate the cost, quality of care, and impact on maternal and fetal outcomes of using extra-medical maternal health providers under the TRICARE Program, and to determine the appropriateness of making coverage of such providers under TRICARE permanent. Extramedical maternal health care providers under the demonstration include doulas and lactation consultants and counselors not otherwise TRICAREauthorized providers (that is, that are not also physicians, registered nurses, certified nurse midwives, etc.). In a recent Report to Congress (RTC), DoD reported on maternal and infant mortality rates. Military Health System (MHS) data reflects that from January 2009 to June 2018, the pregnancyrelated mortality ratio (PRMR),1 including the direct care (DC) and private sector care (PC) systems, was 7.40 deaths per 100,000 live births and statistically significantly lower than the benchmark data from National Perinatal Information Center (NPIC) 2 with a comparative rate of 11.3 deaths per 100,000 live births. During that same period, the infant mortality rate was 2.51 deaths per 1,000 live births and 1 PRMR is defined as CDC as the death of a woman while pregnant or within one year of pregnancy from any cause related to or aggravated by pregnancy or its management, but not from accidental or incidental causes. 2 The NPIC is a nationwide voluntary obstetric quality improvement database.
