Book excerpt: In 1985, Congress authorized the Defense Department (DOD) to establish a dental benefits program for family members of active duty service personnel who could no longer be accommodated on a space-available basis at military dental clinics. Through 2001, the plan will be run nationwide for DOD under a contract with United Concordia Companies, Inc. of Camp Hill, Pennsylvania. Concordia experienced a difficult and lengthy takeover from the incumbent contractor. In addition, Congress has raised concerns about the amounts that Concordia paid to dentists, the number of participating dentists, and the timeliness of claims processing and the restrictiveness of coverage. This report discusses whether (1) Concordia's fee allowances for participating and nonparticipating dentists are appropriate, (2) Concordia has established an adequate network of participating dentists, (3) Concordia's claims processing and marketing efforts meet contract requirements, and (4) DOD is ensuring that Concordia complies with contract requirements.

Book excerpt: " DOD provides health care through TRICARE, its regionally structured health care program. In each of its regions (North, South, West), DOD uses contractors to manage health care delivery through civilian providers, among other tasks. UnitedHealth-an organization new to TRICARE-was awarded the contract in the West region. After health care delivery began, UnitedHealth experienced problems fulfilling some requirements and delivering care to TRICARE beneficiaries. GAO was asked to review the West region's transition to UnitedHealth. This report provides information on (1) the extent to which TMA provided guidance and oversight of the new contractor's transition period in preparation for health care delivery; and (2) how, if at all, TMA's guidance and oversight during the transition period contributed to issues with health care delivery. GAO reviewed and analyzed TMA guidance, contract requirements, and other relevant documentation, and interviewed TMA and UnitedHealth officials. "

Book excerpt: The fed. gov¿t., incl. the DoD, is relying on contractors to carry out many of its missions. Governmentwide spending on contractor services has more than doubled in the last 10 years. DoD has used contractors extensively to support troops deployed abroad; there are about 196,000 contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan. While contractors can play an important role in helping agencies accomplish their missions, there have been problems regarding the appropriate role and mgmt. of contractors, particularly at DoD. This testimony highlights the challenges DoD has had in managing its increased reliance on contractors who support deployed troops and who provide logistics support for weapons. Includes recommendations.

Book excerpt: The DoD relies greatly on contractors to support its current operations and is likely to continue to depend on contractors in support of future operations. As of Dec. 2009, DoD estimated that over 207,000 contractor personnel were supporting operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. DoD expects to increase the number of contractors as more troops deploy to Afghanistan. This testimony addresses: (1) the challenges DoD faces when trying to provide management and oversight of contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan; and (2) the extent to which DoD has made progress in institutionalizing a department-wide approach to managing and overseeing operational contract support.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the Senate Armed Services Committee and DOD have raised concerns that the military health system has prioritized peacetime care to the detriment of combat casualty care capability and wartime medical skills. This report examines the extent to which DOD has (1) determined and reported to Congress on its operational medical and dental personnel requirements, and (2) initiatives to maintain and a methodology to assess the critical wartime readiness of medical providers. GAO is making six recommendations, including that DOD establish joint planning assumptions and a definition, and a method for assessing medical and dental personnel requirements; identify and mitigate limitations in a clinical readiness metric for medical providers; and determine specialties and estimate costs and benefits for applying a readiness metric.
