59238 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 186 / Monday, September 27, 2010 / Notices 

Duty members and Active Duty 

dependents enrolled in TRICARE Prime 

pay no co-payments for inpatient or 

outpatient health care services. DoD 

may establish special co-pay rules for 

the FHCC under demonstration project 

authority of 10 U.S.C. 1092 for other 

beneficiaries.’’ Under this 

demonstration, co-pays will be waived 

for any eligible DoD beneficiary seeking 

healthcare at the FHCC. The waiver of 

cost sharing applies to all impatient, 

outpatient, and ancillary services and 

all outpatient prescription drugs 

provided at the FHCC. The waiver is 

consistent with current policies and 

procedures followed at all MTFs. 

According to an Independent 

Government Cost Estimate (IGCE), it is 

estimated that waiving the co-pays for 

all beneficiaries including Medicareeligible beneficiaries will cost DoD an 

additional $101,518 a year. This cost 

assumes that the lack of co-pays would 

lead to a 20 percent increase in 

utilization by the affected groups (i.e. 

induced demand) at this facility. 

Without this assumption, the waiver 

would cost DoD an additional $84,599 

annually. The cost of additional staffing 

required to compute and collect copayments could easily be more than 

$100,000 per year. 

The effectiveness of this 

demonstration will be tested by 

comparing the volume of care for 

beneficiaries that would have paid copayments to the prior year volume to 

determine if increased utilization 

actually occurred as a result of the 

elimination of co-payments. Increased 

utilization would be an indicator of 

what to expect in future DoD/VA 

mergers of this nature and would 

influence decisions regarding financial 

integration. The final report on this 

demonstration will accompany the final 

report on the FHCC demonstration 

required by Section 1701, NDAA 2010.
