Evolution of the Military Healthcare System

/analyses/2000/evolution-of-the-military-healthcare-system

In recent years, as the military medical departments have imple­ mented the legislatively mandated TRICARE program, the benefi­ ciary population has voiced concerns regarding the perceived deterioration of its health benefit. The military medical departments also have expressed concerns, but of a different nature, relating to Congress's enhancement of the benefit over time without the provi­ sion of appropriate funds to support the changes. The Navy believes that it can prepare more informed future budget strategies by care­ fully examining the evolution of the current military health care ben­ efit and determining the implications of these changes on overall health care costs. In this paper, we document the legislative and regulatory evolution of the military health care benefit since 1956-the year that Congress originally authorized the offering of civilian health care coverage to active duty dependents. We also determine the extent to which major changes in the benefit have contributed to changes in program costs. We begin our analysis with an overview of the initial, contemporary, military health care benefit (or baseline benefit) as authorized by Congress. Next, we focus on the specific changes to the benefit that have affected the following features over time: who is eligible for cov­ erage, the range of covered services, the rate of payment for health services, and program administration. Finally, we examine military health care program costs over time to determine the extent to which major program changes have affected costs.
