This book was released on 2013-03-21 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Problems stemming from the misuse and abuse of alcohol and other drugs are by no means a new phenomenon, although the face of the issues has changed in recent years. National trends indicate substantial increases in the abuse of prescription medications. These increases are particularly prominent within the military, a population that also continues to experience long-standing issues with alcohol abuse. The problem of substance abuse within the military has come under new scrutiny in the context of the two concurrent wars in which the United States has been engaged during the past decade-in Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom) and Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn). Increasing rates of alcohol and other drug misuse adversely affect military readiness, family readiness, and safety, thereby posing a significant public health problem for the Department of Defense (DoD). To better understand this problem, DoD requested that the Institute of Medicine (IOM) assess the adequacy of current protocols in place across DoD and the different branches of the military pertaining to the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of substance use disorders (SUDs). Substance Use Disorders in the U.S. Armed Forces reviews the IOM's task of assessing access to SUD care for service members, members of the National Guard and Reserves, and military dependents, as well as the education and credentialing of SUD care providers, and offers specific recommendations to DoD on where and how improvements in these areas could be made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military medical care is a congressionally authorized entitlement that has expanded in size and scope since the late 19th century. Chapter 55 of Title 10 U.S. Code, entitles certain health benefits to military personnel, retirees, and their families. These health benefits are administered by a Military Health System (MHS). The primary objectives of the MHS, which includes the Defense Department's hospitals, clinics, and medical personnel, are (1) to maintain the health of military personnel so they can carry out their military missions and (2) to be prepared to deliver health care during wartime. Health care services are delivered through either Department of Defense (DOD) medical facilities, known as military treatment facilities (MTFs) as space is available, or through civilian health care providers. As of 2017, the MHS operates 681 MTFs, employs nearly 63,000 civilians and 84,000 military personnel, and serves 9.4 million beneficiaries across the United States and in overseas locations. Since 1966, civilian care for millions of retirees, as well as dependents of active duty military personnel and retirees, has been provided through a program still known in law as the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS), more commonly known as TRICARE. TRICARE has three main benefit plans: a health maintenance organization option (TRICARE Prime), a preferred provider option (TRICARE Select), and a Medicare supplement option (TRICARE for Life) for Medicare-eligible retirees. Other TRICARE plans include TRICARE Young Adult, TRICARE Reserve Select, and TRICARE Retired Reserve. TRICARE also includes a pharmacy program and optional dental and vision plans. Options available to beneficiaries vary by the sponsor's duty status and geographic location. This report answers selected frequently asked questions about military health care, including How is the Military Health System structured? What is TRICARE? What are the different TRICARE plans and who is eligible? What are the costs of military health care to beneficiaries? What is the relationship of TRICARE to Medicare? How does the Affordable Care Act affect TRICARE? When can beneficiaries change their TRICARE plan? What is the Medicare Eligible Retiree Health Care fund, which funds TRICARE for Life? This report does not address issues specific to battlefield medicine, veterans, or the Veterans Health Administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health Insurance is a Family Matter is the third of a series of six reports on the problems of uninsurance in the United Sates and addresses the impact on the family of not having health insurance. The book demonstrates that having one or more uninsured members in a family can have adverse consequences for everyone in the household and that the financial, physical, and emotional well--being of all members of a family may be adversely affected if any family member lacks coverage. It concludes with the finding that uninsured children have worse access to and use fewer health care services than children with insurance, including important preventive services that can have beneficial long-term effects.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year (FY) 2000 established the authority for a demonstration program under which eligible beneficiaries were to be permitted to enroll in the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan (USFHP) at any time. We will refer to this policy as "continuous open enrollment." Congress directed that the Department of Defense (DoD) test the feasibility and advisability of providing continuous open enrollment for a two-year period at a minimum of two (out of seven) USFHP sites; submit a report to Congress by March 15, 2001, evaluating the benefits and costs of the program; and make a recommendation concerning whether to authorize continuous open enrollment at all USFHP sites on a permanent basis.

Download or read book Final Evaluation Report for Uniformed Services Family Health Plan Continuous Open Enrollment Demonstration written by Michael Schoenbaum and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 established the authority for a demonstration program under which eligible military retirees and their dependents would be permitted to enroll in the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan (USFHP) at any time, rather than during a designated 30-day period each spring. The USFHP Continuous Open Enrollment demonstration was conducted at three of the seven USFHP sites, beginning in early 2000. This book assesses the likely impact of continuous open enrollment on beneficiaries, the DoD, and other stakeholders. The authors interviewed USFHP and DoD staff and other key participants involved in rate-setting negotiations, visited each demonstration site, conducted focus groups with enrolled and eligible non-enrolled beneficiaries, and analyzed data on enrollment patterns. The evaluation found no apparent drawbacks for beneficiaries of the continuous open enrollment policy, nor any evidence that it increased enrollment in USFHP. For beneficiaries under age 65, the authors found that a de facto policy of continuous open enrollment already exists because beneficiaries may enroll in TRICARE Prime and then transfer to USFHP at any time. Finally, the authors expect the financial risk to the DoD to be minor, mainly because the current system of calculating payment rates places most risk from adverse selection on the USFHP. The authors recommend that the continuous open enrollment policy be extended to all USFHP sites and be made permanent.
