Military Health System Reform: Military Treatment Facilities

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DOD) administers a statutory health entitlement (under Chapter 55 of Title 10, U.S. Code) through the Military Health System (MHS). The MHS offers health care benefits and services to approximately 9.6 million beneficiaries composed of servicemembers, military retirees, and family members. Health care services are available through DOD-operated hospitals and clinics (i.e., military treatment facilities(MTFs)), or through civilian health care providers participating in DODs health care program, TRICARE.
