Summary Report on the FY 1989 Evaluation of the Alternate Use of CHAMPUS Funds

Abstract

This final report summarizes four audits. We audited the alternate use of funds from the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) for medical and surgical test projects at medical treatment facilities (MTF's) in FY 1989. The overall objective of our audits was to evaluate whether medical test projects initiated by military hospitals would, if fully implemented, reduce CHAMPUS costs. The audits were made from September 1989 through July 1990 at the direction of Congress. Enclosure 3 lists the activities we visited or contacted during the audits. The audits covered nine projects in operation from January through September 1989. A representative from the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) (ASD(HA) assisted the IG, DOD, team in monitoring the nine projects.
