employment or contractual relationship 

exists between the IBI Supervisor and 

IBI Tutor. Such determination is 

conclusive and may not be appealed. 

(8) Conditions of authorization. 

An applicant must also meet the 

following conditions to be eligible for 

authorization as a TRICARE corporate 

services provider under this 

demonstration project: 

(A) Meet the qualifications and 

requirements for IBI Supervisors 

established by the Director, TRICARE 

Management Activity or designee; and 

(B) Ensure that IBI Tutors meet the 

requirements for TRICARE 

authorization specified by The Director, 

TRICARE Management Activity or 

designee; and 

(C) Comply with all applicable 

organizational and individual licensing 

or certification requirements that are 

extant in the state, county, municipality, 

or other political jurisdiction in which 

the provider renders services; and 

(D) Has entered into a participation 

agreement approved by the Director, 

TRICARE Management Activity, or 

designee, which complies with the 

participation agreement requirements 

established by the Director; and 

(E) Pricing and payment methodology: 

The pricing and payment of procedures 

rendered by a provider authorized 

under this demonstration project shall 

be limited to those methods for pricing 

and payment allowed by 32 CFR part 

199 which the Director, TRICARE 

Management Activity, or designee, 

determines contribute to the efficient 

management of this demonstration 

project. 

(F) Termination of participation 

agreement. A provider may terminate a 

participation agreement upon 45 days 

written notice to the Director, TRICARE 

Management Activity. 

This demonstration will test the 

advisability and feasibility of permitting 

TRICARE reimbursement for IBI 

services delivered by non-professional 

providers, under a modified corporate 

services model, in the absence of state 

or industry oversight. Neither the 

TRICARE Basic Program nor the ECHO 

program currently authorizes 

reimbursement for providers working 

within this type of unregulated 

corporate structure. Should the 

demonstration result in a determination 

to make a permanent change to the 

TRICARE benefit to permit 

reimbursement of services provided by 

IBI tutors under a corporate services 

model, such decision would require a 

change to the Code of Federal 

Regulations. 

In addition to provider qualifications, 

the demonstration project may outline 

criteria and requirements for covered 

services, limitations to the benefit, 

beneficiary eligibility, data gathering 

and use requirements and 

documentation of treatment 

effectiveness that are specific to services 

delivered under the demonstration 

project. 

F. Evaluation 

An evaluation of the demonstration 

will be conducted. The evaluation will 

be designed to use a combination of 

administrative and survey measures of 

health care outcomes (clinical, 

utilization, financial, and humanistic 

measures) to provide analyses and 

comment on the effectiveness of the 

demonstration in meeting its goal of 

providing increased access to safe, 

efficacious, and quality behavioral 

services for military children with 

autism.
