The Impact Of Health Reform On Purchased Care Access: National Health Reform and Modernization of the Military Health System Study
Abstract
The Military Health System (MHS) provides and pays for health care delivered to active- duty service members, their dependents, military retirees, and other beneficiary groups by military treatment facilities and civilian providers. The U.S. Department of Defenses (DoDs) TRICARE program is the health benefit that covers access to civilian providers, also referred to as the purchased care system. Because the MHS relies in part on civilian providers, policy- makers have a keen interest in how the expansion of health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) will affect access to care for TRICARE beneficiaries.
