HT9402-14-R-0001 Page C1 of C37
C.1. GENERAL.
C.1.1. The Department of Defense (DoD), through the Defense Health Agency (DHA), has a mission to provide TRICARE services to eligible beneficiaries in locations outside the fifty United States and the District of Columbia.
C.1.2. In order to accomplish this mission, the TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP) contract will supplement the services that are provided to Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs) and certain Active Duty Family Members (ADFMs) via the direct care system in designated Military Treatment Facility (MTF) locations. The TOP contract will provide comprehensive health care support services to ADSMs and certain ADFMs in designated remote overseas locations. The contract will also provide dental care services for ADSMs in remote overseas locations (not including U.S. territories and commonwealths). Additionally, the contract will provide services to all TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries according to the requirements of the contract, including customer support and assistance, preauthorizations, claims processing, and appeals and grievances processing. Finally, the TOP contract will provide other health care support services (e.g., translation services, access to data, etc.) designed to assist the Government in operating an integrated health care delivery system for all eligible beneficiaries overseas.
C.1.3. Section C includes two categories of outcome-based statements. The “Statement of Objectives” represents the desired outcomes for this contract. The objectives are supported by “Technical Requirements.” These requirements encompass the scope of the contract and represent specific tasks, outcomes, and/or standards that, at a minimum, must be achieved.
C.1.4. Whenever practicable, the technical requirements identified in this section are accompanied by one or more cross-references to related language contained in the TRICARE Manuals. These cross-references are provided as a convenience to facilitate understanding of the contract requirements and are not intended to be all-inclusive. The Contractor is responsible for understanding the full scope of the TRICARE program and all TOP requirements as outlined in the contract (to include the documents incorporated by reference in C.3. below).
C.2. STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES. The primary objectives (i.e., desired outcomes) of the TOP contract are as follows:
C.2.1. Objective 1 – Claims Processing. Timely and accurate processing of all TRICARE claims that fall within the scope of the contract, to include full compliance with TRICARE’s requirements for development, coding, processing, medical/dental review, authorization, and data record submission.
C.2.2. Objective 2 – Beneficiary and Provider Satisfaction. Beneficiary and provider satisfaction at the highest level possible throughout the period of performance, through the delivery of world-class health care and customer-friendly services.
C.2.3. Objective 3 – Provider Networks. Development and management of high-quality purchased care sector provider networks (augmented by non-network
HT9402-14-R-0001 Page C2 of C37 providers, as necessary) capable of providing access to TRICARE-covered medical benefits and services in designated Prime and remote locations, as well as access to ADSM dental care in designated remote locations, in accordance with the contract requirements. In Puerto Rico only, this requirement includes the development of purchased care sector Primary Care Manager (PCM) networks in all Prime locations identified in Attachment J-1.
C.2.4. Objective 4 – Management. Provision of efficient and effective management processes which will ensure the successful delivery of health care support and translation services as required by the contract (including, but not limited to appropriate staffing levels, staff education and training, internal quality management/quality improvement program, lines of authority, and reporting and coordination interfaces with the Government).
C.2.5. Objective 5 – Transitions. Fully operational systems and processes at the start of health care delivery with minimal disruption to beneficiaries, providers, and MTFs in terms of seamless transfer of enrollments, claims, referrals/authorizations, and medical management data from the outgoing Contractor to the incoming Contractor.
C.3. DOCUMENTS.
C.3.1. The following documents form an integral part of this contract and have the same force and effect as if set forth in full text. The TRICARE Manuals provide instruction, guidance and responsibilities to establish contractual requirements for implementation of federal statutes and regulations. When a statute, regulation or manual has changed, there is no change to the contract requirements until the Contracting Officer changes the contract by modification to the contract. In the event of a conflict between the manuals and either statute and/or regulation, the statute and/or regulation takes precedence. If there is a conflict between the manuals, the order of precedence is: (1) TRICARE Policy Manual (TPM) and TRICARE Reimbursement Manual (TRM), (2) TRICARE Systems Manual (TSM), and (3) TRICARE Operations Manual (TOM). The TRICARE Manuals are located at: http://manuals.tricare.osd.mil/ If the Contractor believes that a conflict exists between the incorporated documents, the Contractor shall inform the Contracting Officer.

C.3.2. Definitions are included in Title 32, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 199.2 and TOM Appendix B.
C.4. GOVERNMENT INFORMATION AND APPLICATIONS.
C.4.1. The Government will provide the Contractor with access to the Defense Manpower Data Center’s (DMDC) Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) to perform eligibility inquiries and enrollments. DEERS is the database of record for TRICARE eligibility for the TOP contract. The Government will grant access to DEERS only after the Contractor’s staff and all subcontractors’ staff that utilize systems which access and maintain TOP data are compliant with the enhanced safeguarding methods for unclassified DoD information, personnel security, and clearance requirements (see C.42 below for a description of these system requirements).
The Contractor and its subcontractors must be in compliance with these requirements no later than 120 days before the start of health care delivery.
C.4.2. The Defense Medical Information System (DMIS) is a service of the DoD which identifies past and current DoD medical facilities. DMIS Identifiers (DMIS IDs) are recognized throughout the DoD for various medical and military facility identification purposes, including TRICARE enrollment. DMIS ID tables may be viewed at http://www.tricare.mil/tma/gri/dmis/downloads.aspx.
C.4.3. The Referral Management System (RMS) is a Government application that creates a standard referral form based on the data entered in the Composite Health Care System (CHCS)/the Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application (AHLTA) and automatically formats the referral to contain the minimum mandatory clinical and administration information required in TOM Chapter 8, Section 5. RMS transmits referrals to the Contractor electronically where they are processed and returned
HT9402-14-R-0001 Page C4 of C37 electronically to the MTF. Subject to the same information technology and personnel security and clearance requirements discussed in C.4.1. above, the Government will grant the Contractor access to RMS Version 3.1 for the purpose of receiving referrals and returning authorizations, unless a different process has been specified by the Government.
C.5. CONTRACTOR FURNISHED ITEMS. The Contractor shall furnish all necessary items (e.g., facilities, labor, services, supplies, etc.) for the satisfactory performance of this contract, unless the contract specifically states that the Government will be providing such items (as identified in Attachment J-3 or elsewhere within the contract).
C.6. TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS. The technical requirements for the TOP contract are identified below. These requirements are augmented by the statutes, regulations, and other operating guidelines and instructions incorporated by reference as noted in Section C.3.
To facilitate better understanding of the contract requirements, key cross-references to the TRICARE Manuals and other reference materials have been included.
C.7. ELIGIBILITY.
C.7.1. Eligibility for TRICARE is determined by the Uniformed Services, not by DHA.
Except for newborns/newly adopted children and Reserve Component (RC) members on active duty for less than 31 calendar days, all individuals who are determined by the applicable Uniformed Service as meeting the TRICARE eligibility reporting requirements under 32 CFR 199.3 will be reflected as eligible on the DEERS. The Contractor shall establish business processes to verify eligibility in DEERS for all associated TRICARE actions (e.g., enrollment, referrals/authorizations, claims processing, etc.).
C.7.2. In addition to verifying DEERS eligibility status, the Contractor shall establish business processes to verify additional eligibility information that may be required based on beneficiary category as discussed below.
C.7.2.1. Unless a specific exception exists, the Contractor shall verify ADFM command sponsorship status prior to enrolling an ADFM in TOP Prime or TOP Prime Remote. ADFM enrollment requests must coincide with the specific timeframe and country location designated on the command sponsorship orders (i.e., an ADFM who is command sponsored to a location in Korea cannot be enrolled in TOP Prime in Germany). See TOM Chapter 24, Section 5, paragraph 5.1 et seq. for a list of specific exceptions to the command sponsorship requirement.
C.7.2.2. RC members who incur or aggravate an injury, illness or disease while serving on active duty for 30 days or less are eligible for Line of Duty (LOD) care as defined in DoD Directive 1241.1 and DoD Instruction 1241.2. These members will not be identified as TRICARE-eligible in DEERS; therefore, additional documentation is required to establish their eligibility for LOD care. For MTF referrals, the MTF shall verify LOD eligibility prior to issuing the referral. The Contractor shall establish business processes to accept MTF LOD referrals, issue care authorizations, and process claims as if the member was eligible in DEERS. For RC members who are not referred by an MTF, prior to issuing the LOD care authorization, the Contractor shall establish business processes to verify LOD eligibility with the Military Medical Support Office (MMSO) (for care in the U.S. Virgin Islands only) or the
HT9402-14-R-0001 Page C5 of C37 applicable military unit or command for care in all other overseas locations. Verbal attestation of duty status alone is not sufficient to establish LOD eligibility; there must be written documentation from MMSO or the applicable military unit or command which confirms that the member’s eligibility for LOD care. The Contractor shall ensure that claims associated with the LOD authorization are processed as if the member was eligible in DEERS.
Claims for care that are not associated with the LOD authorization shall be denied.
C.7.3. Retirees and retiree family members are not eligible to enroll in TOP.
C.7.4. TRICARE Extra is not available outside the 50 United States and the District of Columbia.
C.7.5. Foreign Forces Members on temporary or permanent assignment in the TOP geographic regions are eligible for care in the direct care system only. MTF referrals or claims for purchased sector care for Foreign Forces Members will not be authorized or paid by TRICARE.
C.7.6. Refer to TPM Chapter 10 and TOM Chapter 24, Section 5 for specific requirements and additional information regarding TRICARE and TOP eligibility requirements.
C.8. MEDICAL BENEFITS.
C.8.1. Medical benefit policy applies to the scope of services and items which may be considered for cost-sharing by TRICARE within the intent of 32 CFR 199. Explicit medical benefit requirements, limitations, or exclusions are identified in 32 CFR 199 and augmented by the TPM.
C.8.2. The TOP contract strives to accommodate the cultural differences associated with the delivery of health care overseas; however, services or items which are specifically excluded or limited in the regulation or the TRICARE manuals cannot be provided under the TOP contract without specific Government direction.
C.8.3. DHA maintains a “No Government Pay Procedure Code List” which identifies all codes that are excluded from coverage and are not payable under the TRICARE program.
This list is available online at http://www.tricare.mil/nogovernmentpay/.
C.8.4. Refer to 32 CFR 199.4 and the TPM for additional information regarding TRICARE medical benefits. Refer to TOM Chapter 17 for specific requirements and additional information regarding waivers for the provision of non-covered services to ADSMs under the Supplemental Health Care Program.
C.9. MANAGEMENT.
C.9.1. The Contractor shall establish and maintain effective management strategies, staff education and training programs, lines of authority, and reporting and coordination interfaces with the Government.

C.11. FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION. Refer to TOM Chapter 3; TOM Chapter 24, Section 3; and Section G for specific requirements, instructions and additional information regarding financial administration.
C.12. PURCHASED CARE SECTOR PROVIDERS AND FACILITIES.
C.12.1. The Contractor shall provide a managed, stable, high-quality network or networks of individual and institutional purchased care sector providers which promotes access, quality, beneficiary and provider satisfaction, and “best value health care” for TOP enrollees in the MTF locations identified in Attachment J-1 and the network-designated remote locations identified in Attachment J-2 (see TOM, Appendix B, for definition of “best value health care”). In MTF locations, provider
HT9402-14-R-0001 Page C8 of C37 networks shall be developed to support TOP Prime enrollees by complementing the clinical capability and capacity of the MTF. Additionally, in all Puerto Rico MTF locations, the Contractor shall provide a network of PCMs to support TOP Prime enrollment of ADFMs who are command sponsored or otherwise eligible for TOP Prime enrollment. In network-designated remote locations, provider networks shall be developed to provide primary and specialty care to TOP Prime Remote enrollees, as well as dental care services to ADSMs in designated remote overseas locations.
When necessary, the Contractor shall augment provider network(s) with non-network providers to ensure that the number, mix, and geographic distribution of purchased care sector providers is sufficient to provide all TRICARE reimbursable services under this contract to TOP enrollees in all MTF areas identified in Attachment J-1 and all network-designated remote areas identified in Attachment J-2, unless otherwise determined and agreed to in writing by the Contracting Officer not to be practicable. The Contractor’s provider network(s) shall also support the requirements of special programs described in the TPM and the TOM (e.g., the Extended Care Health Option (ECHO)) for TOP enrollees in MTF and network-designated remote locations. Development of purchased care sector provider networks and the delivery of cashless, claimless services in non-network designated remote locations shall be on a “best effort” basis. In this situation, “best effort” is defined as the Contractor making commercially reasonable efforts on an ongoing basis to achieve the stated outcomes for network adequacy and cashless, claimless health care. Under these conditions, failure to achieve the stated outcomes will not result in a negative performance evaluation by the Government. The Contractor shall provide copies of network provider agreements when requested by the Contracting Officer (CO) or the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).
C.12.2. The Contractor shall make their best effort to ensure that the TRICARE standards for access, in terms of beneficiary travel time, appointment wait time, and office wait time are met for TOP Prime and TOP Prime Remote enrollees (emergency care 24 hours per day, 7 days per week in the service area; acute care appointments within 24 hours; routine care appointments within 7 calendar days; wellness care appointments within four weeks; specialty care appointments within four weeks or per provider designation (not to exceed four weeks); no more than 60 minutes’ drive time from the sponsor’s duty location for specialty care (no more than 30 minutes for other types of care); office wait times will generally not exceed 30 minutes for non-emergency care). In this situation, “best effort” is defined as the Contractor making commercially reasonable efforts on an ongoing basis to achieve the stated outcomes for access to care. Under these conditions, failure to achieve the stated outcomes will not result in a negative performance evaluation by the Government. The Contractor shall inform the Government of locations where access to care is severely impaired (in terms of beneficiary travel time, appointment wait time, and/or office wait time) and shall implement corrective actions as appropriate to improve access in these areas.
C.12.3. The Contractor shall ensure that purchased care sector network and non-network provider capabilities and capacities can be adjusted as necessary to compensate for changes in MTF capabilities and capacities (due to facility downsizing or closure, MTF expansion, establishment of new clinics, provider deployment or reassignment, etc.), which may change frequently over the life of the contract. The Contractor shall adjust the capabilities and capacities of available purchased care sector providers to compensate for such changes when and where they
HT9402-14-R-0001 Page C9 of C37 occur within 90 calendar days of notification by the Government. Attachment J-7 identifies MTFs which are projected for downsizing or closure; however, due to the dynamic nature of DoD operations, these actions are subject to change and are not guaranteed to occur.
C.12.4. One measure of network adequacy or inadequacy shall be the percentage of paid claims for TOP Prime and TOP Prime Remote enrollees that are submitted by network providers, after excluding certain claims associated with care that was not specifically authorized by the Contractor (including, but not limited to Point of Service (POS) claims, Other Health Insurance (OHI), pharmaceuticals, ancillary services (except MRIs and PET scans), any DME items that do not require an authorization, preventive services, medical supplies that do not require an authorization, emergency care, etc.). Refer to Section H.6.4 for a description of network adequacy calculation.
