DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, Office of the Secretary

Final rule.

Effective Date: This final rule is effective March 29, 2013.

32 CFR Part 199

Summary

This final rule implements Section 713 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2009. Section 713 states the Secretary shall establish a smoking cessation program under the TRICARE program. The smoking cessation program under TRICARE shall, at a minimum, include the following: The availability, at no cost to the beneficiary, of pharmaceuticals used for smoking cessation, with the limitation on the availability of such pharmaceuticals to the mail-order pharmacy program under the TRICARE program; smoking cessation counseling; access to a toll-free quit line 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; access to print and Internet web-based tobacco cessation material. Per the statute, Medicare-eligible beneficiaries are excluded from the TRICARE smoking cessation program.

78 FR 12951 - TRICARE; Elimination of the Non-Availability Statement (NAS) Requirement for Non-Emergency Inpatient Mental Health Care

Docket No.	ID: DOD-2011-HA-0059

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, Office of the Secretary

Final rule.

Effective March 28, 2013.

32 CFR Part 199

Summary

This final rule eliminates the requirement that states a NAS is needed for non-emergency inpatient mental health care in order for a TRICARE Standard beneficiary's claim to be paid. Currently, NAS are required for non-emergency inpatient mental health care for TRICARE Standard beneficiaries who live within a military treatment facility catchment area. At this time, the number of NASs issued is negligible as most mental health admissions are emergency admissions. Requiring a NAS for a relatively few non-emergency inpatient mental health admissions is disproportionate to the cost of maintaining the systems necessary to process and coordinate the NAS.

Final rule.

Effective date: This rule is effective March 28, 2013.

32 CFR Part 199

Summary

This final rule will provide the Director, TRICARE Management Activity (TMA), or designee, with the authority to sanction third-party billing agents by invoking the administrative remedy of exclusion or suspension from the TRICARE program. Such sanctions may be invoked in situations involving fraud or abuse on the part of third-party billing agents that prepare or submit claims presented to TRICARE for payment.

GPO FDSys XML | Text

Additional Documents

type	regulations.gov
FR Doc.	2013-03419
RIN	0720-AB58
Docket No.	ID DOD-2012-HA-0105

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, Office of the Secretary

Proposed rule.

Written comments received at the address indicated below by April 15, 2013 will be accepted.

32 CFR Part 199

Summary

This rule proposes to change TRICARE's current regulatory provision for hospital claims priced under the DRG-based payment system. Claims are currently priced by using the rates and weights that are in effect on a beneficiary's date of admission. This rule proposes to change that provision to price such claims by using the rates and weights that are in effect on a beneficiary's date of discharge.
