August 2009 through August 2011, with 

the majority (89%) occurring in the 

West region. Of these calls, 1888 calls 

were listed as either ‘‘initial’’ or 

‘‘intake’’ with 3098 listed as ‘‘followup,’’ and 123 calls were not coded for 

contact type. Thirty-five percent (35%) 

of callers reported themselves as the 

sponsor, 62% reported as a dependent, 

and 3% did not report relationship. 

These results indicate the 

demonstration has not been utilized to 

the extent anticipated. At a cost of 

approximately $3 million annually 

across all three TRICARE regions, the 

demonstration’s goal of improving 

beneficiary access to behavioral health 

care by incorporating Web-based video 

technology has not been realized and 

thus not viable from a financial 

perspective. 

The termination of TRIAP in March 

2012 will not cause a void in the 

availability of non-medical counseling 

services for Service members and their 

families. Military OneSource (MOS) 

offers a robust and popular Employee 

Assistance Program model of nonmedical counseling service to provide 

Service members and their families in 

both the continental United States and 

overseas with an avenue for private, 

non-reportable discussion of personal 

life issues. Issues such as family 

difficulties and pressures, crisis 

intervention, anxiety, self-esteem, 

loneliness, and critical life decisions 

can be discussed on a one-to-one basis 

in the context of a confidential 

relationship with a professional 

counselor. Telephonic or face-to-face 

counseling is available 24/7 by 

contacting the MOS 1–800 call center 

who maintains a National Network of 

trained, experienced, and credentialed 

counselors. In addition, MOS is 

currently pursuing integration of video 

technology and software capability such 

as Skype or iChat to their non-medical 

counseling service by early 2012. By 

terminating the TRIAP Demonstration 

and integrating video technology into 

the MOS non-medical counseling 

service, the Department is responsibly 

managing costs, streamlining and 

eliminating duplication of services, and 

making it easier for Service members 

and their families to find assistance 

through one convenient toll free 

number. 

The TRICARE Management Activity 

will work with MOS to develop a 

communication plan and ensure a 

seamless transition of Web-based video 

counseling from TRICARE to MOS.

nominating authorities who by Federal

to the three service military academies. 

The nomination form allows for

acceptable form. The form includes the 

three addresses of the service academies
