SECTION C
DESCRIPTION / SPECIFICATION / STATEMENT OF WORK
H94002-13-R-0001 29
C.1. Program Description
C.1.1. TRICARE is the Department of Defense (DoD) health care program administered by the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) by means of the Military Health System (MHS) for approximately 9.6 million active duty and retired members of the Uniformed Services (the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, the U.S. Air Force, the U.S. Marine Corps, the U. S. Coast Guard, the Commissioned Corps of the Public Health Service and the Commissioned Corps of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), their spouses and children, including TRICARE for Life beneficiaries entitled to Medicare Part A and Part B based on their age, disability and/or end-stage renal disease. Also eligible are Medal of Honor recipients. The TRICARE Pharmacy Program is authorized under 10 USC 1074g and 32 C.F.R. 199.21.
C.1.2. The mission of the MHS is to enhance DoD readiness and national security by providing health support for the full range of military operations. The MHS must be prepared not only to provide a high quality, cost-effective health care benefit to its eligible members during peacetime, but also must be prepared to support the armed forces during exercises, contingencies, operations other than war, and in wartime. The MHS provides quality medical care through: (1) a network of health care providers and pharmacies in the United States and its territories; and (2) direct care Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) – (hospitals, health and dental clinics) in the United States and overseas. While the number and size of direct care facilities has declined in recent years, it remains important that MTFs are optimized in order to maintain the clinical skills of military clinical staff to support medical readiness. The direct care system cannot fully support the total demand for health care services; therefore, TRICARE uses the direct care system as the main delivery system, and through contracts, augments the direct care system through a civilian network of providers and facilities serving its eligible members.
C.1.3. TRICARE provides a world-class pharmacy benefit to all eligible beneficiaries through the integration of state of the art technologies to enhance patient safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness.
DoD administers an integrated TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program offering pharmacy services through direct care pharmacy services at MTFs located at various military bases, retail network pharmacies, authorized retail non-network pharmacies, or delivery through the TRICARE Home Delivery/Mail Order Pharmacy (TMOP). Retail network pharmacy services are currently available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
C.1.4. Features of the pharmacy benefits program include the use of the DoD Uniform Formulary, a tiered cost sharing structure, and a preference for generic over branded products. The DoD formulary is managed by the DoD Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Committee and lists the pharmaceutical agents, by therapeutic classes, that are authorized as basic program benefits. Prescriptions for selected pharmaceutical agents may be subject to prior authorization or utilization review requirements to assure medical necessity, clinical appropriateness and/or cost-effectiveness. DoD has established tiered cost-sharing by which beneficiaries partially defray costs of administering the pharmacy benefits program.
Cost-sharing amounts differ based on the classification of a pharmaceutical agent as generic, formulary, or non-formulary, in conjunction with the point of service from which the agent is acquired. The mail order and retail portions of this benefit are open to all eligible TRICARE beneficiaries. Eligible beneficiaries need not enroll in order to use the program(s).
C.1.5. The Contractor will perform pharmacy benefits management functions, including the following:
perform claims adjudication, administer a retail pharmacy network, operate TMOP, provide clinical services for specialty pharmaceuticals, process direct member reimbursements for claims filled at retail network and non-network pharmacies, perform clinical reviews and provide beneficiary and pharmacy
H94002-13-R-0001 30 support services. The Contractor shall transmit all claim information to the Pharmacy Data Transaction Service (PDTS), the Government’s designated data warehouse.
C.1.6. The Contractor will also perform as a fiscal intermediary on behalf of DoD to pay for all authorized pharmaceuticals and supplies dispensed for eligible beneficiaries at retail pharmacies.
Government funds, either appropriated or derived from the Medicare-eligible Retiree Health Care Fund, will be used by the Contractor to pay for all TRICARE prescriptions dispensed by network and non-network retail pharmacies. The Contractor will be paid fees at the contracted rate for performing administrative services under the contract. The fees paid to the Contractor will not be related directly or indirectly to the Government’s acquisition costs of pharmaceuticals under Section 603 of the Veterans Health Care Act of 1992, or Section 201(a) of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949. Upon verification of the patient’s eligibility and acceptance of the TRICARE Encounter Data (TED) record, the Contractor will forward payment using Government funds to pay for each TRICARE prescription dispensed at retail network pharmacies. Therefore, the Government will be acquiring covered drugs with Government funds for use by the Government.

C.6.1. General Claims Processing
C.6.1.1. The Contractor shall provide mail order pharmacy (including specialty pharmacy) services, a retail pharmacy network, claims adjudication for MTF claims and Pharmacy Benefit Management (PBM) services as specified herein. Unless stated otherwise, claims adjudication includes processes outlined in C.6.1.4 - C.6.1.7 and C.6.1.10, consisting of eligibility check, application of the correct copayment, identification of other health insurance (OHI), benefit design edits, prospective drug utilization review and application of catastrophic cap updates.
C.6.1.2. The Contractor shall accept and process claims submitted by retail network pharmacies, the TMOP, MTF pharmacies, by beneficiaries for direct reimbursement (including non-network), or as batch files from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) or State Medicaid Agencies.
C.6.1.3. The Contractor shall provide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week claims processing for all locations, excluding downtimes for scheduled maintenance. The Contractor’s claims processing system shall be available no less than 99.5% of the time. The system is considered to be unavailable when the failure rate for claims exceeds 25% for at least 30 minutes. The Contractor shall schedule maintenance windows to coincide or overlap with DEERS maintenance windows, as described in TSM Chapter 3, Section 1.3.
DEERS will attempt to accommodate the Contractor’s needs when establishing a maintenance schedule.
The Contractor shall provide reporting on system availability performance (Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL M030).
C.6.1.4. The Contractor shall interface with the DEERS to verify eligibility, update the CCDD file, and check for OHI when processing claims for TMOP or retail network pharmacies. The Contractor shall use the applications described in the TOM and TSM.
C.6.1.5. The Contractor shall process claims submitted using either the beneficiary’s social security number (SSN) or an alternative government identification number up to 12 digits in length, such as the DoD Benefits Number (DBN).

C.6.1.18. The Contractor shall submit a TED record for all paid claims and clinical reviews conducted under this contract (See C.15.2).
C.6.2. Other Health Insurance
C.6.2.1. The Contractor shall implement processes to maximize the identification of OHI, including but not limited to utilizing commercial services or data sources. When new OHI is identified, the Contractor shall pursue recoupment for past claims and build out the beneficiary’s profile for future claims. In all cases where possible OHI is identified, including but not limited to leads provided by the Managed Care Support Contractors (MCSC) or pharmaceutical manufacturers, the Contractor shall investigate and develop OHI records in accordance with TOM, Chapter 23, Section 3, TOM Chapter 10, Section 5, and TRM, Chapter 4. When the Contractor identifies beneficiary OHI through sources other than DEERS (e.g., claim forms, beneficiary declarations, Contractor’s internal files), it shall forward the OHI information to DEERS in accordance with the TSM. The Contractor shall provide a reporting to the Government on OHI development (CDRL Q190).
C.6.2.2. A beneficiary with OHI cannot use TMOP, unless the OHI does not cover the prescribed pharmaceutical or the beneficiary has exhausted the benefits under the OHI.
