Final Evaluation Report for the TRICARE Senior Supplement Demonstration Program
Abstract
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year 1999 directed the Secretary of Defense to establish a demonstration program, called the TRICARE Senior Supplement Demonstration (TSSD), under which eligible beneficiaries would be permitted to enroll in the Department of Defense (DOD) TRICARE health insurance program as a supplement to Medicare. Congress directed the DoD to demonstrate TSSD in two geographic areas, with enrollment beginning in March 2000 and the program ending in December 2002. The DoD was required to submit a report to Congress by December 31,2002, evaluating TSSD and making recommendations about its suitability as a permanent national program. The DoD selected RAND to perform this evaluation and address the issues identified by Congress. This document represents RAND's final evaluation report to the DoD.
