Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS)/TRICARE: TRICARE Retail Pharmacy Program
This proposed rule would make several administrative changes to the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program regulations in order to conform them more closely to the statute and to clarify some procedures regarding the operation of the uniform formulary. Specifically, the proposed rule would: conform the regulation to the statute regarding point-of-service availability of non-formulary drugs; clarify the process for formulary placement of newly approved drugs; streamline the process for updating copayment requirements; specify the method for applying the statutory formula for maximum non-formulary drug copayments; and clarify several other uniform formulary practices. This rule is separate from, but not inconsistent with, the legislative proposal made by the Department to implement portions of the President's Budget for Fiscal Year 2013 relating to the TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program.
TRICARE Management Activity Adoption of Department of the Treasury's Administrative Wage Garnishment Procedures
This notice is to advise TRICARE sponsors, beneficiaries, providers, physicians, other suppliers of services or supplies, and any other persons who for any reason have been erroneously paid under TRICARE, that TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) is adopting by reference Department of the Treasury (Treasury) administrative wage garnishment procedures as established at 31 CFR 285.11. By adopting this regulation, TMA will authorize Treasury's Financial Management Service (FMS), to use administrative wage garnishment as an additional tool to collect TMA's debts once such legally enforceable non-tax debts are transferred to Treasury for collection through cross servicing pursuant to 32 CFR 199.11(f)(6)(vi). When a TMA debtor is employed in the private sector or by a state or local government, Treasury may be able to collect the debt by garnishing a portion of the debtor's disposable pay as defined in 31 CFR 285.11. Administrative wage garnishment will not affect a significant number of TMA debtors, as TMA estimates 6% of its debt cases and less than 0.3% of total debt may be eligible for collection with this tool.
