(OASD(HA)/TMA) will undertake an 

evaluation of the DoD’s TRICARE 

Standard healthcare option. HPA&E will 

collect and analyze data that are 

necessary to meet the requirements 

outlined in section 702 of the Senate 

version of the National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY2008. 

Activities include the collection and 

analyses of data obtained confidentially 

from civilian physicians (M.D.s & D.O.s) 

and at least psychologists within U.S. 

geographic areas. Specifically, mail 

surveys with telephone follow-up of 

civilian providers will be conducted in 

the TRICARE market areas to determine 

how many healthcare providers are 

accepting new patients under TRICARE 

Standard in each market area. The 

surveys will be conducted in at least 40 

TRICARE geographic areas in the United 

States each fiscal year through and 

including fiscal year 2011. 

Representatives of TRICARE 

beneficiaries and selected provider 

groups will be consulted to identify 

potential locations. 

In addition, section 702 of the FY 

2008 National Defense Authorization 

Act (NDAA) requires the Department to 

conduct annual surveys of beneficiary 

access experience and the availability to 

access civilian providers under 

TRICARE Standard and Extra program 

through FY 2011. These issues address 

the interests of Congress in 

reconciliation of responses of providers 

and beneficiaries who use TRICARE. 

Surveys of civilian healthcare 

providers (M.D.s and D.O.s) and 

beneficiaries eligible for TRICARE 

Standard/Extra care will be conducted 

in at least 40 TRICARE Prime service 

areas each year. The objective of this 

effort is to determine if TRICARE 

beneficiaries have difficulty in finding 

health care providers willing to provide 

services under Standard or Extra, and 

the extent to which providers in the area 

participate in Standard/Extra.
