ACTION: Notice of demonstration project. AGENCY: The Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (ASD(HA)) issues this notice of demonstration to authorize the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to expand the DoD and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Hearing Aid Program (HAP) utilized throughout the Military Health System to a limited segment of the private sector care network of the TRICARE Managed Care Support Contractors (MCSCs). The intent is to replicate, to the fullest extent possible, the VA’s Community Care Network model for delivery of prescribed hearing lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:37 Sep 16, 2022 Jkt 256001 aids and associated devices to Veterans, for Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs) receiving care through the Supplemental Health Care Program (SHCP) in designated states, as well as to qualifying Prime Active Duty Family Members (ADFMs) diagnosed with profound hearing loss. This demonstration will be effective for the period of two years and conducted in three tiered phases: Phase One covers ADSMs in the state of California from January 1, 2023 until the completion of the demonstration; Phase Two covers ADSMs in the state of Texas from January 1, 2024 until the completion of the demonstration; and Phase Three covers qualifying Prime ADFMs in the states of California and Texas from July 1, 2024 through completion of the demonstration. These changes are intended to standardize the hearing aid ordering process and reduce the cost variability for hearing aids and associated devices prescribed for treatment under TRICARE by private sector care providers in network. DATES: This demonstration has an effective and implementation date of the January 1, 2023. The demonstration authority will remain in effect until December 31, 2024, unless terminated or extended by the DoD via a subsequent Federal Register Notice. Phase One (ADSM in California) has a target effective date of care delivery of January 1, 2023. Phase Two (ADSM in Texas) has a target effective date of care delivery of January 1, 2024. Phase Three (qualifying Prime ADFM in California and Texas) has a target effective date of care of July 1, 2024. If the Acting ASD(HA), in collaboration with VA leadership, determines it would be appropriate to make expansion of the DoD–VA HAP permanent, the Acting ASD(HA) will follow-up with interim and final rulemaking, if required.

Executive Summary This notice is to advise all parties of a DHA demonstration project under the authority of Title 10, United States Code (U.S.C.), Section 1092, entitled ‘‘TRICARE Expansion of the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs Hearing Aid Procurement Model to Private Sector Care for Active Duty Service Members Receiving Care through the Supplemental Health Care PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Program and qualifying Prime Active Duty Family Members.’’ The demonstration will monitor whether cost variability can be decreased and efficiency increased using the DoD–VA HAP in the TRICARE MCSCs private sector care networks. The DoD Hearing Center of Excellence (HCE), in collaboration with the TRICARE Health Plan (THP) and the VA’s Denver Logistics Center (DLC) and Central Audiology Office, will conduct and evaluate a demonstration of the use of the VA National Hearing Aid and Wireless Systems contract for the purchase of hearing aids and associated devices prescribed for ADSMs and qualifying Prime ADFMs seen by private sector care network audiologists in designated states. The proposed demonstration will help DHA assess whether use of these contracts will impact access to care, improve efficiency to care completion, decrease billing errors to increase cost avoidance for TRICARE and its beneficiaries, and improve patient experience in quality of care. The demonstration will develop and evaluate a system for TRICARE MCSCs private sector care network audiologists to request hearing aids for ADSMs and qualifying ADFMs through a centralized audiology team supported by the DoD HCE. The devices will be ordered through the VA Remote Order Entry System (ROES), purchased from the VA via a DHA Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request (MIPR), and delivered to the prescribing audiologist’s practice for fitting and dispensing to the beneficiary. This demonstration will integrate the Military and civilian health care systems per Section 705(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017. Conducted under the purview of the DHA, it will be administered through the MCSCs (Health Net Federal Services (HNFS) and Humana Government Business (HGB), Inc. at time of publication) in three phases, applicable to ADSM beneficiaries receiving care authorized under the SHCP and qualifying Prime ADFMs. The DoD HCE will measure several outcome metrics, including but not limited to: • Access to care for ADSMs and Prime ADFMs impact, positive or negative, by delivering care through this model, which will be measured through appointment data and shifts in number of providers available in demonstration states (ADSMs in California, Phase One; ADSMs in California and Texas, Phase Two, and qualifying ADFMs in California and Texas, Phase Three) vs. similarly sized non-demonstration states E:\FR\FM\19SEN1.SGM 19SEN1
