Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund Audited Financial Statements. Fiscal Year 2012
Abstract
The reporting entity is the Department of Defense (DoD) Uniformed Services Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund (the Fund or MERHCF). The Fiscal Year (FY) 2001 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) directed the establishment of the MERHCF to pay for Medicare-eligible retiree health care beginning on October 1, 2002. Prior to this date, care for Medicare-eligible beneficiaries was financed through annual Congressional appropriations for space available care in Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs). The Fund covers Medicareeligible beneficiaries, regardless of age. In the context of the Fund, hereafter the term Medicare-eligible beneficiaries is used to refer to Medicare-eligible beneficiaries who are related to retirees (i.e., retirees themselves, dependents of retirees, and survivors).
