Tricare: A Comparison of Self- Reported and Administrative Utilization Data
Abstract
As part of the Tricare-Tidewater evaluation, CNA fielded a military beneficiary health care survey in the fall of 1992 to collect information on access, satisfaction, health status, and utilization. To supplement these data, and support the Tricare evaluation, we developed an administrative data set using claims data from the Civilian Health and Medical Program for the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS), Biometrics records, and Medical Expense and Performance Reporting System (MEPRS) data. This administrative data set provides not only cost information but also detailed utilization records, including information about specific diagnoses and treatments. We undertook this effort to determine what data we should rely on.
