Charging for Ambulatory Care in Military Health Care Facilities: An Evaluation and Analysis

Abstract

This study examined the impact of imposing a fee on military beneficiaries in the an attitudinal survey. Actual fee institution was not used. The study had numerous conclusions of the impact: patient demand will not change due to a co-payment fee; co-payments will substantially contribute to CHAMPUS funding; co-payment collections will increase waiting time and contribute to patient dissatisfaction; consumers are opposed to co-payments, but feel they have little recourse; and retention of military members may be effected due to the perception of a decrease in benefits.
