Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 117 / Wednesday, June 18, 2014 / Notices 34729 

such screening. This demonstration 

project will extend coverage for this 

testing from January 1, 2013 through the 

end of the demonstration in order to 

obtain sufficient data to be able to 

conduct a cost benefit analysis of 

providing this screening for our 

beneficiary population. 

D. Implementation 

The new demonstration is effective 30 

days after publication in the Federal 

Register and will continue for a period 

of three years from the date of the 

original demonstration unless 

terminated earlier by the Director, DHA. 

LDTs approved by the Director, DHA, or 

designee, during the new demonstration 

period will become available for costsharing for qualified TRICARE 

beneficiaries during the demonstration 

period when performed by CLIA 

certified laboratories. Should the FDA 

issue final guidance on LDTs and/or 

enforce the requirement for clearance or 

premarket approval for LDTs, the 

Director, DHA will modify or terminate 

the demonstration, as appropriate, and 

the DoD will ensure compliance with 

applicable federal law and regulations. 

E. Evaluation 

An annual evaluation of the new 

demonstration will be conducted to 

determine how many TRICARE 

approved LDTs were provided to 

beneficiaries across all TRICARE 

Regions. The evaluation will also 

include a review of the LDT 

examination and recommendation 

process to assess feasibility, resource 

requirements, and cost-effectiveness of 

DHA establishing an internal safety and 

efficacy review process for these devices 

for TRICARE cost-sharing purposes. 

These results of the evaluation will 

provide an evaluation of the potential 

improvement of the quality of 

healthcare services for beneficiaries who 

would not otherwise have access to 

these safe and effective tests. Based on 

the results of the demonstration 

evaluation, a recommendation will be 

made on whether to modify 32 CFR 

199.4(g)(15)(i)(A) to remove the 

restriction for non-FDA approved LDTs 

and permit TRICARE cost-sharing of 

LDTs that are found to otherwise meet 

TRICARE requirements for safety and 

effectiveness. The Department of 

Defense will also conduct a cost benefit 

analysis of providing CF carrier 

screening in accordance with ACOG 

guidelines to the TRICARE beneficiary 

population for purposes of determining 

whether to permanently establish 

coverage.
