SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Restructure or Realignment of 

Military Medical Treatment Facilities; 

OMB Control Number 0720–RMTF. 

Needs and Uses: The National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2017 (NDAA FY 2017—Pub. 

L. 114–328), Section 703 ‘‘Military 

Medical Treatment Facilities’’ states that 

there shall be an update on the study 

(i.e., a report) from the 2015 Military 

Health System Modernization Study 

that addresses the realignment or 

restructuring of military medical 

treatment facilities (MTFs). As part of 

the report on the implementation plan 

to restructure or realign all MTFs, this 

survey will provide valuable data on 

TRICARE beneficiary’s experience with 

the transition from receiving their care 

at an MTF to now receiving care in the 

private-sector with a network provider/ 

facility. 

The collection of this information will 

be from TRICARE Prime enrollees 

empaneled at MTFs undergoing MTF 

restructuring as a result of NDAA FY 

2017, Section 703. The survey will be 

given two times, the first iteration given 

two weeks after transition to collect 

immediate information regarding the 

transition and access to care experience; 

a second survey will be released six 

months after transition to review 

progress. These TRICARE Prime 

enrollees will be responding to 

questions relating to how their 

transition from the MTF to either a 

Network (private-sector care) primary 

care manager (PCM) or TRICARE Select 

resulted. This information will assist the 

DHA with assessing this restructuring 

effort as well as future efforts to ensure 

beneficiaries receive high-quality care. 

Specifically, survey findings will show 

what problems beneficiaries faced 

during the transition from their MTF 

PCM to a network PCM, details on 

access to care now with a network PCM, 

satisfaction with their new network 

PCM, and communications about the 

transition overall.
