Defense Heath Care: Expansion of the CHAMPUS Reform Initiative into Washington and Oregon
Abstract
Under both CRI and the modified CRI program, private-sector contractors provide health care services for CHAMPUS eligible beneficiaries. Under both programs, beneficiaries may choose one of three options: (1) a health maintenance organization program called CHAMPUS Prime, which offers improved benefits and reduced beneficiary out-of-pocket costs as compared to standard CHAMPUS; (2) a preferred provider organization called CHAMPUS Extra, which requires a higher level of beneficiary cost sharing than under CHAMPUS Prime; and (3) continuation in standard CHAMPUS.
