Defense Healthcare: Potential for Savings by Treating CHAMPUS Patients in Military Hospitals

Abstract

In response to your request, this report discusses the potential for savings by adding staff and other resources at military hospitals to treat more patients, rather than paying for their care under CHAMPUS. We are making recommendations to the Secretary of Defense to identify military hospitals and medical specialties in which it would be most cost-effective to expand services to treat patients whose care is now funded under CHAMPUS.
