et seq.) for health care services provided to medicare-eligi-
ble covered military beneficiaries who enroll in the dem-
onstration project and receive the health care services
through the managed care option of the TRICARE pro-
gram.
(b) LOCATION OF PROJECT.—The Secretaries shall
conduct the demonstration project in not more than five
geographic areas of the United States designated by the
Secretaries.
(c) DURATION.—The Secretaries shall conduct the
demonstration project during the three-year period begin-
ning on January 1, 1998.
(d) VOLUNTARY ENROLLMENT; EFFECT OF ENROLL-
MENT.—Enrollment of medicare-eligible covered military
beneficiaries in the demonstration project shall be vol-
untary, subject to the capacity and funding limitations
specified in section 4. In the case of a medicare-eligible
covered military beneficiary who enrolls in the demonstra-
tion project, payments may not be made under title XVIII
of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.) other
than for health care services provided through the dem-
onstration project, except that the Secretaries may provide
exceptions for emergencies or other situations as the Sec-
retaries consider appropriate.
(e) TRICARE PROGRAM ENROLLMENT FEE WAIV-
ER.—The Secretary of Defense shall waive the enrollment
fee applicable to any medicare-eligible covered military
beneficiary enrolled in the managed care option of the
TRICARE program for whom reimbursement may be
made under section 4.
(f) MODIFICATION OF TRICARE CONTRACTS.—In
carrying out the demonstration project, the Secretary of
Defense may amend existing TRICARE program con-
tracts to incorporate provisions applicable to medicare-eli-
gible covered military beneficiaries enrolled in the dem-
onstration project.
(g) COST SHARING.—The Secretary of Defense may
establish cost sharing requirements for medicare-eligible
covered military beneficiaries who enroll in the demonstra-
tion project.
(h) EXPANSION
OF DEMONSTRATION PROJECT.—
The Secretaries shall include in the demonstration project
a provision for expanding the demonstration project to in-
corporate health care services provided to medicare-eligible
covered military beneficiaries under the fee-for-service op-
tions of the TRICARE program if, in the report submitted
under section 713 of the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 1997 (Public Law 104–106; 110 Stat.
2591), the Secretaries determined that such expansion of
the demonstration project is feasible and advisable.
SEC. 4. DETERMINATION OF REIMBURSEMENT AMOUNTS.
(a) REIMBURSEMENT
OF DEPARTMENT
OF DE-
FENSE.—
(1) BASIS OF PAYMENTS.—Monthly payments
to the Department of Defense under the demonstra-
tion project from the medicare program under title
XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et
seq.) shall be made on the basis that payments are
made under section 1876(a) of such Act (42 U.S.C.
1395mm(a)).
(2) AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS.—Subject to sub-
section (c), the Secretary of Health and Human
Services shall make payments to the Department of
Defense from the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust
Fund and the Federal Supplementary Medical In-
surance Trust Fund (allocated by the Secretary of
Health and Human Services between each trust
fund based on the relative weight that each trust
fund contributes to the required payment) at a per
capita rate equal to 93 percent of the applicable ad-
justed average per capita cost for each medicare-eli-
gible covered military beneficiary enrolled in the
demonstration project in excess of the number of
such beneficiaries calculated under subsection (b)(4)
for the Department of Defense maintenance of
health care effort.
(b) MAINTENANCE OF DEFENSE HEALTH CARE EF-
FORT.—
(1) MAINTENANCE
OF
EFFORT
REQUIRED.—
The Secretary of Defense shall maintain the Depart-
ment of Defense health care efforts for medicare-eli-
gible covered military beneficiaries so as to avoid the
imposition on the medicare program of the costs of
health care that medicare-eligible covered military
beneficiaries would be expected to receive from the
Department of Defense in the absence of the dem-
onstration project.
(2) ESTIMATE OF PRIOR EFFORT.—The Sec-
retaries shall estimate the amount expended by the
Department of Defense for fiscal year 1997 for pro-
viding health care items and services (other than
pharmaceuticals provided to outpatients) to medi-
care-eligible covered military beneficiaries. Such
amount shall be adjusted for inflation after the first
year of the demonstration project, for differences be-
tween estimated and actual amounts expended, and
for changes in the Department of Defense health
care budget that exceed $100,000,000.
(3) DISTRIBUTION OF EFFORT.—The amount
determined and adjusted under paragraph (2) shall
be divided into a portion devoted to providing health
care services to medicare-eligible covered military
beneficiaries who do not enroll in the demonstration
project (which of the total amount may not exceed
70 percent in the first year, 60 percent in the second
year, and 50 percent in the third year) and a portion
devoted to medicare-eligible covered military bene-
ficiaries who are enrolled in the demonstration
project.
(4) TARGET FOR DEFENSE EFFORT.—The Sec-
retaries shall establish monthly targets for the num-
ber of medicare-eligible covered military beneficiaries
enrolled in the demonstration project necessary to
meet the maintenance of effort portion devoted to
such beneficiaries under paragraph (3).
(c) ANNUAL LIMIT ON USE OF MEDICARE FUNDS.—
Annual medicare payments to the Department of Defense
under subsection (a) for the demonstration project may
not exceed $65,000,000.
(d) PROTECTION OF MEDICARE PROGRAM AGAINST
INCREASED COSTS.—
(1) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this subsection
is to protect the medicare program against costs in-
curred in connection with the provision of health
care services to medicare-eligible covered military
beneficiaries enrolled in the demonstration project
that would not have been incurred by the medicare
program in the absence of the reimbursement re-
quirement under subsection (a).
(2) ADDITIONAL
PROTECTIONS.—If the Sec-
retaries determine that the trust funds under title
XVIII of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1395 et
seq.) still incur excess costs as a result of the dem-
onstration project, the Secretaries shall take such
steps as may be necessary to offset those excess
costs (and prevent future excess costs), including
suspension or termination of the demonstration
project or adjustment of the payment rate under
subsection (a)(2).
(e) REVIEW BY COMPTROLLER GENERAL.—Not later
than December 31 of each year in which the demonstra-
tion project is conducted, the Comptroller General shall
determine and submit to the Secretaries and Congress a
report on the extent, if any, to which the costs of the Sec-
retary of Defense under the TRICARE program and the
costs of the Secretary of Health and Human Services
