Defense Health Care- CHAMPUS Reform Initiative: Unresolved Issues

Abstract

In a March 13, 1986, letter, the former Chairman, Subcommittee on Military Personnel and Compensation, House Committee on Armed Services, asked that we monitor the Department of Defense's (DODS 1 development of changes to the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS). In its report on DOD's Appropriations Bill for 1987, the Senate Committee on Appropriations directed us to also monitor the changes proposed for CHAMPUS and to keep the Committee informed of our concerns. We have periodically briefed your offices on our work and were requested to prepare this briefing report on the key issues we have identified to date that should be addressed before full implementation of the CHAMPUS changes. Our work is not yet complete and will continue.
