Medicaid Services.

Participating Agencies

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for 
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) is the recipient agency, and the 
Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) is the 
source agency.

Authority for Conducting the Matching Program

    The principal authority for conducting the matching program is 42 
U.S.C. 18001, et seq.

Purpose(s)

    The purpose of the matching program is to provide CMS with DoD data

Benefit Plan (i.e., TRICARE), when requested by CMS and state-based 
administering entities (AE) for the purpose of determining the 
individuals' eligibility for insurance affordability programs under the 
Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). CMS and the 
requesting AE will use the DoD data to determine whether an enrollee in 
private health coverage under a qualified health plan through a 
federally-facilitated or state-based health insurance exchange is 
eligible for coverage under TRICARE, and the dates the individual was 
eligible for TRICARE coverage. DoD health benefit plans provide minimum 
essential coverage (MEC), and eligibility for such plans precludes 
eligibility for financial assistance in paying for private coverage. 
CMS and AE will use the DoD data to authenticate identity, determine 
eligibility for financial assistance (including an advance tax credit 
and cost-sharing reduction, which are types of insurance affordability 
programs), and determine the amount of any financial assistance.

Categories of Individuals

    The categories of individuals whose information is involved in the 
matching program are: (1) active duty service members and their family 
members and (2) retirees and their family members whose TRICARE 
eligibility records at DoD match data provided to DoD by CMS (submitted 
by AEs) about individual consumers who are applying for or are enrolled 
in private health insurance coverage under a qualified health plan 
through a federally-facilitated or state-based health insurance 
exchange.

Categories of Records

    The categories of records used in the matching program are identity 
records and minimum essential coverage (MEC) period records. To request 
information from DoD, CMS will submit a request to DoD that may 
contain, but is not limited to, the following specified data elements 
in a fixed record format: Social Security Number (SSN), first name, 
middle name, surname (last name), date of birth, gender, and requested 
Qualified Health Plan (QHP) coverage effective date and end date. When 
DoD is able to match the SSN and name provided by CMS and information 
is available, DoD will provide CMS with the following about each 
individual, as relevant: SSN, response code indicating enrollment in 
MEC under a TRICARE plan, and, as applicable, begin date(s) and end 
date(s) of enrollment in MEC under a TRICARE plan.
