Defense Health Care: Expansion of CHAMPUS Reform Initiative Into DoD's Region 6

Abstract

Under both CRI and the modified CR1 program, private-sector contractors provide managed health care services under regional, at-risk contracts for CHAMPUS-eligible beneficiaries to supplement the care provided in military hospitals and clinics. Under both programs, beneficiaries may choose one of three options: (1) a health maintenance organization program called Prime, which offers improved benefits and reduced beneficiary out-of-pocket costs as compared to standard CHAMPUS; (2) a preferred provider organization called Extra, which requires a higher level of beneficiary cost-sharing than under Prime; and (3) a continuation in standard CHAMPUS.
