Book Synopsis Health Benefits for Medicare-eligible Military Retirees by : Michael Schoenbaum
Download or read book Health Benefits for Medicare-eligible Military Retirees written by Michael Schoenbaum and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2004 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for fiscal year (FY) 2001 made sweeping changes to the way that health care furnished by civilian providers to Medicare-eligible military retirees is financed. The law directed the Department of Defense (DoD) to implement what is now commonly referred to as TRICARE for Life (TFL). As of October 1, 2001, TFL provides TRICARE as supplemental health insurance for all Medicare-eligible military retirees age 65 or older who are enrolled in Medicare Part B. As of 2003, approximately 1.6 mil- lion military retirees are eligible for TFL. In general, TRICARE for Life covers all cost-sharing for Medicare-covered services and standard TRICARE cost-sharing for services that are covered by TRICARE but not by Medicare. Thus, TFL provides Medicare-eligible military retirees with one of the most comprehensive health insurance benefit packages in the United States.

Book Synopsis Final Evaluation Report for the TRICARE Senior Supplement Demonstration Program by : Michael Schoenbaum
Download or read book Final Evaluation Report for the TRICARE Senior Supplement Demonstration Program written by Michael Schoenbaum and published by Minnesota Historical Society. This book was released on 2002 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The TRICARE Senior Supplement Demonstration (TSSD), conducted from March 2000 through December 2002, offers Medicare-eligible military beneficiaries the option of enrolling in TRICARE as a supplement to Medicare. This book describes RAND's evaluation of the TSSD program. Enrollment in TSSD was very low because of several factors, particularly the introduction of the permanent TRICARE for Life (TFL) that supercedes TSSD. However, implementation of TSSD as a permanent national program is feasible and would benefit many Medicare-eligible military retirees.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the Department of Defense (DOD) health system and Medicare were entirely separate. DOD's TRICARE health plans covered military retirees to age 65. 1 However, once eligible for Medicare, retirees were no longer eligible for TRICARE and could not enroll in DOD s managed care plan, TRICARE Prime. As nonenrollees, Medicare-eligibles had access to care at military treatment facilities (MTF) only to the extent that space not utilized by TRICARE s enrolled population was available. By law, DOD could not receive payments from Medicare and was not responsible for providing the full range of benefits to Medicare-eligibles. Recently, the situation has changed. In 1997, Congress authorized the DOD Medicare subvention demonstration for a 3-year period. 2 Under this demonstration, DOD formed Medicare managed care organizations that enrolled and served Medicare-eligible military retirees at six sites. The DOD Medicare plan, which was called TRICARE Senior Prime, combined TRICARE with Medicare benefits and requirements. The demonstration also authorized DOD to receive payment from Medicare if certain conditions were met. Senior Prime gave enrollees the same priority for military care as younger retirees enrolled in TRICARE Prime, with minimal out-of-pocket costs. With TRICARE Prime as its foundation, Senior Prime illustrated issues that arose in bringing older retirees into DOD managed care. A major change in health care arrangements for Medicare-eligible retirees from the uniformed services will take place October 1, 2001. Under provisions of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001, 3 these retirees will become eligible for TRICARE and will be able to use their Medicare benefit within TRICARE. The new program is commonly termed TRICARE For Life. Experience under Senior Prime illustrated some issues that TRICARE might face.
Book Synopsis The Cost of a Military Person-year by : Carl J. Dahlman
Download or read book The Cost of a Military Person-year written by Carl J. Dahlman and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work presents a new method of estimating the cost of a military person-year that focuses on the actual cost of the retirement benefits that the federal government must provide to military personal, where previously available measures focused only on annual retirement-fund accrual costs. A major implication of this alternative calculus is that truly effective force management requires an increased focus on the cost of personnel.

Book Synopsis Guide to U.S. Health and Health Care Policy by : Thomas R. Oliver
Download or read book Guide to U.S. Health and Health Care Policy written by Thomas R. Oliver and published by CQ Press. This book was released on 2014-09-03 with total page 1109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contentious passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 highlighted the incredible complexity and controversy surrounding health care in the United States. While the U.S. federal government does not provide universal health care, it has an extremely wide reach when it comes to the health of its citizenry. From important scientific and medical research funding to infectious disease control and health services for veterans and the elderly, the pathway to legislation and execution of health policies is filled with competing interests and highly varied solutions. The Guide to U.S. Health and Health Care Policy provides the analytical connections showing researchers how issues and actions are translated into public policies and institutions for resolving or managing healthcare issues and crises. The Guide highlights the decision-making cycle that requires the cooperation of federal and state governments, business, and an informed citizenry in order to achieve a comprehensive approach to advancing the nation’s healthcare policies. Through 30 topical chapters, the book addresses the development of the U.S. healthcare system and policies, the federal agencies and public and private organizations that frame and administer those policies, and the challenges of balancing the nation’s healthcare needs with the rising costs of medical research, cost-effective treatment, and adequate health insurance. Additionally, the book comprehensively addresses significant disparities that exist in the U.S. system and the challenges to public health posed by our increasingly connected world. Taking a comprehensive approach, the Guide traces policy initiatives across time and takes into account the most recent scholarship: Part One: Evolution of American Health Care Policy Looks at the emerging and expanding role of government in the health care sector and the position the U.S. occupies today as the only advanced industrial nation without universal health care. Part Two: Government Organizations that Develop, Fund, and Administer Health Policy (1789-Today) Examines the role each branch of government plays in the forming, executing, and regulating health care policies. The authors examine the origins, organization, budget, and function of major government organizations including the FDA, CDC, and VA. An exploration of legal oversight and the roles states play in the health sector round out this section. Part Three: Contemporary Health Policy Issues: Goals and Initiatives (1920s-Today) Explores the wide range of players in the health care sphere and the role the government plays, particularly in funding them. Special attention is paid to policy issues surrounding medical research and medical professions. This section also looks at the ethical issues in play when making health policy and the inequalities that have plagued the U.S. health care system. Part Four: Contemporary Health Policy Issues: People and Policies (1960s-Today) This part of the book looks in-depth at health disparities in the U.S., health challenges particular to specific groups, mental health, obesity, and the influence of interest groups. Part Five: U.S. Response to Global Health Challenges (1980s-Today) The last section of the book looks beyond the borders of the United States and the serious challenges posed by our increasingly connected world.

Download or read book A National Trauma Care System written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in trauma care have accelerated over the past decade, spurred by the significant burden of injury from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2005 and 2013, the case fatality rate for United States service members injured in Afghanistan decreased by nearly 50 percent, despite an increase in the severity of injury among U.S. troops during the same period of time. But as the war in Afghanistan ends, knowledge and advances in trauma care developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) over the past decade from experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq may be lost. This would have implications for the quality of trauma care both within the DoD and in the civilian setting, where adoption of military advances in trauma care has become increasingly common and necessary to improve the response to multiple civilian casualty events. Intentional steps to codify and harvest the lessons learned within the military's trauma system are needed to ensure a ready military medical force for future combat and to prevent death from survivable injuries in both military and civilian systems. This will require partnership across military and civilian sectors and a sustained commitment from trauma system leaders at all levels to assure that the necessary knowledge and tools are not lost. A National Trauma Care System defines the components of a learning health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This report provides recommendations to ensure that lessons learned over the past decade from the military's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq are sustained and built upon for future combat operations and translated into the U.S. civilian system.
