DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Web-Based Mental Health Care 

Demonstration Project 

AGENCY: Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice of a Web-based TRICARE 

Assistance Program Demonstration 

Project. 

SUMMARY: This Notice is to advise 

interested parties of a Military Health 

System (MHS) demonstration project, 

under the authority of Title 10, U.S. 

Code, Section 1092, entitled Web-Based 

TRICARE Assistance Program. The 

demonstration project will use existing 

managed care support contracts (MCSC) 

to provide a Web-based employee 

assistance program (EAP) including 

counseling and advice services to Active 

Duty Service members, their families 

members and their dependents enrolled 

in TRICARE Reserve Select, and those 

eligible for the Transition Assistance 

Management Program (TAMP) who 

reside in the continental United States. 

We are testing the effectiveness of 

providing this care. 

DATES: Effective Date: This 

demonstration project will be effective 

August 1, 2009. The demonstration 

project will continue until April 1, 

2010. 

ADDRESSES: TRICARE Management 

Activity (TMA), Health Plan Operations, 

5111 Leesburg Pike, Suite 810, Falls 

Church, VA 22041. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions pertaining to this 

demonstration project, Ms. Kathleen 

Larkin, (703) 681–0039. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

a. Background 

On page 405 of House Report 2638, 

the Department of Defense 

Appropriations Act for FY 2009 Joint 

Explanatory Statement, Congress stated: 

‘‘An area of particular interest is the 

provision of appropriate and accessible 

counseling to service members and their 

families who live in locations that are 

not close to military treatment facilities, 

other Military Health System facilities, 

or TRICARE providers. Web-based 

delivery of counseling has significant 

potential to offer counseling to 

personnel who otherwise might not be 

able to access it. Therefore, the 

Department is directed to establish and 

use a Web-based Clinical Mental Health 

Services Program as a way to deliver 

critical clinical mental health services to 

service members and families in rural 

areas.’’ 

This demonstration is designed to test 

the effectiveness and efficiency of 

utilizing audio and visual technologies 

including Web-based services to provide 

our Active Duty Service members, their 

families and other beneficiaries 

increased access to EAP-like services. 

b. Current Status of Access 

The Department of Defense currently 

provides a robust program of 

nonmedical counseling, as well as 

mental health care for our Active Duty 

Service members and their families. The 

Department offers Military One Source 

which provides for up to 12 nonmedical 

face-to-face counseling sessions per 

issue, per counselor. For those needing 

medical treatment, we provide 

behavioral health care in our military 

treatment facilities or through our 

TRICARE program. 

Our MCSCs currently provide an 

array of text and multimedia based 

educational materials targeting predeployment, deployment, and postdeployment adjustment concerns. They 

also have behavioral health (BH) contact 

centers staffed with beneficiary service 

representatives and customer service 

representatives to provide first and 

second level support, triage, and to 

make appropriate referrals and locate 

providers for Active Duty Service 

members and their families. This 

demonstration project will expand 

access to these behavioral health 

services by using audiovisual 

telecommunications systems such as 

video chat/instant messaging to access 

the BH centers. It also expands access to 

the Behavioral Health call centers and 

EAP-like counseling to those enrolled in 

TRICARE Reserve Select. 

c. Demonstration Project Description 

The MCSCs’ Behavioral Health call 

center staff will triage those seeking 

help and refer them to an appropriate 

level of assistance. This may include 

Military One Source, a military 

treatment facility, a network provider 

for face-to-face care, or for a tele-health 

visit from an authorized originating site 

facility to a TRICARE authorized 

provider’s office. In addition, they may 

perform unlimited assessments and 

nonmedical counseling or advice using 

a Web-based platform to ease access for 

Active Duty Service members, their 

families, those enrolled in TRICARE 

Reserve Select, and TAMP-eligibles. 

d. Implementation 

This demonstration will be effective 

August 1, 2009. 

e. Evaluation 

An independent evaluation of the 

demonstration will be conducted. It will 

be performed retrospectively and use a 

combination of administrative and 

workload measures of behavioral health 

care access to provide analyses and 

comment on the effectiveness of the 

demonstration in meeting its goal of 

improving beneficiary access to 

behavioral health care by incorporating 

Web-based technology.
