SECTION C
STATEMENT OF WORK
HT940220R0002 Page C1 of C79 Amendment 2
C.1. Program Description
TRICARE is the Department of Defense (DoD) health care program administered by the Defense Health Agency (DHA) by means of the Military Health System (MHS) for approximately 9.5 million active duty and retired members of the Uniformed Services, and their spouses and children, including TRICARE for Life beneficiaries. The TRICARE Pharmacy Program is authorized under 10 U.S.C. §1074g and 32 C.F.R. 199.21.
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, clinics, and pharmacies) in the United States and overseas. The direct care system cannot support the total demand for health care services and is focused on maintaining the clinical skills of military staff to support medical readiness.
TRICARE augments the direct care system through a civilian network of providers and facilities serving its eligible members.
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 MTFs, retail network pharmacies, retail non-network pharmacies, or delivery through the TRICARE 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.
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, which establishes the basic program benefits. Prescriptions for selected pharmaceutical agents may be subject to prior authorization (PA) or utilization review requirements to assure Medical Necessity (MN), 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 (POS) from which the agent is acquired. The mail order and retail portions of this benefit are open to all eligible TRICARE beneficiaries.
Pharmacy benefits management functions under this contract include the following: perform claims adjudication, administer a retail pharmacy network, operate TMOP, process reimbursements for claims filled at retail network and non-network pharmacies, perform clinical reviews, and provide beneficiary and pharmacy support services. The Contractor shall transmit all claim information to the Government’s designated Pharmacy Data Warehouse (PDW).

TRICARE Manuals.
C.1.4.2.1. The Contractor shall utilize the current version of the TRICARE Manuals T-2017, published at Attachment J-3, line 11. The manuals are applicable in their entirety.
C.1.4.2.2. The Contractor shall routinely review proposed, pending, and published manual changes and discuss concerns with the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).
C.1.4.2.3. When a new manual change is pending publication (identified with a change number and date), the COR and Contractor shall coordinate to confirm the applicability of a change to the contract.
To the extent practicable, for those manual changes that apply to the contract, the Government and Contractor will negotiate in good faith a bilateral agreement incorporating the
HT940220R0002 Page C4 of C79 Amendment 2 change into the contract. This in no way precludes the Government’s exercise of its rights to execute unilateral change orders as circumstances may require.
Those manual changes that do not apply to the contract will be incorporated into the contract as part of the next modification to incorporate an applicable change (i.e. Manual Changes 1-4 that do not apply will be incorporated at the same time as Manual Change 5, which does apply).
C.1.4.2.4. In the event of conflict, the TRICARE Policy Manual shall take precedence over the other three TRICARE Manuals. The TRICARE Reimbursement Manual shall take precedence over the TRICARE Systems Manual and the TRICARE Operations Manual. The TRICARE Systems Manual shall take precedence over the TRICARE Operations Manual.
In the event of a conflict between language found within the TRICARE Manuals and the contract, the contract prevails.
C.2. General Claims Processing.
C.2.1. The Contractor shall accept and process claims submitted by retail network pharmacies, TMOP, MTF pharmacies, Veteran Affairs (VA) pharmacies, Indian Health Services (IHS) pharmacies, by beneficiaries for direct reimbursement (including non-network), to include batch files submitted from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) and State Medicaid Agencies.
C.2.2. Unless stated otherwise, the Contractor shall include claims adjudication processes outlined in C.2, consisting of eligibility check, application of the correct copayment, identification of OHI, benefit design edits, Drug Utilization Review (DUR) and application of catastrophic cap and deductible updates.
C.2.3. The Contractor shall maintain a complete patient profile, inclusive of all claims processed within the scope of this contract.
C.2.4. Appeal Rights. The Contractor shall not accept appeals from Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs). ADSM are not authorized as appealing parties for TRICARE cost-sharing determinations. ADSM should be directed to their local MTF for review of access to care issues.

C.2.6. Claims Processing System
The Contractor shall provide 24 hours a day, 7 days a week claims processing for all locations, including overseas MTFs.
The Contractor’s claims processing system shall be available no less than 99.5% of the time, excluding external downtime (e.g., DEERS, B2B Gateway, etc.). The system is considered to be unavailable when the failure rate for claims exceeds 25% for at least 30 minutes.
HT940220R0002 Page C5 of C79 Amendment 2
C.2.6.2.1. The Contractor shall provide reporting on system processing performance per Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) M060. At the request of the Government, the Contractor shall provide documentation of reported downtime, including detailed explanation of the causes.

C.2.6.2.3. The Contractor shall immediately communicate unscheduled downtimes in excess of a Government-determined threshold (no fewer than 15 minutes) to MTF pharmacy staff and other parties who have indicated interest in receiving this information. Updates on system availability will be provided at a Government-determined interval and will include an estimate of when the system will once again be available for use. A final notification shall take place to inform users that regular processing has been restored. The communication mechanism shall be provided and maintained by the Contractor.
C.2.6.2.4. The Contractor shall schedule maintenance windows, to the greatest extent possible, to coincide or overlap with Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) maintenance windows, as described in TRICARE Systems Manual (TSM) Chapter 3, Section 4.2. The TSM reflects a maximum window within which DMDC scheduled maintenance will occur. Actual planned duration is communicated by DMDC on a weekly basis (See C.11.5.2.). DMDC will attempt to accommodate the Contractor’s needs when establishing a maintenance schedule.
C.2.6.2.5. The Contractor shall notify the Government no less than 72 hours in advance of any planned maintenance window. Such notification shall include MTF pharmacy staff and any other interested parties through the process under C.2.6.2.3.
The Contractor shall accept any one of the multiple identifiers that may be submitted to process claims. Identifiers include but are not limited to DoD ID, social security number (SSN), or DoD Benefits Number (DBN). The primary identifier used by the Contractor shall be the DoD ID, as described in the TSM, and the Contractor’s system shall link the identifier transmitted by the pharmacy with the DoD ID. The Contractor shall dynamically link all variations of patient IDs to ensure a single patient profile, including instances where patients may be eligible under health plans as a result of having more than one sponsor.
The Contractor shall ensure that their system utilizes software which maximizes configurable parameters to allow for changes to be made quickly and efficiently.
C.2.7. DEERS
Verifying Eligibility. The Contractor shall not authorize payment for a prescription prior to verifying eligibility, except at the direction of the Government.

POS.
HT940220R0002 Page C6 of C79 Amendment 2
C.2.7.1.2. The Contractor shall minimize queries to DEERS for transactions not authorizing payment and as a result of timed-out transactions.
C.2.7.1.3. The Contractor shall monitor DEERS query volumes for all interfaces throughout the period of performance against the projections provided during transition. The Contractor shall investigate the variance in these volumes and revise estimates for future periods of performance annually, or any time actually query volume deviates significantly from the most recent projections (CDRL A090).
Catastrophic Cap and Deductible (CC&D)
C.2.7.2.1. The Contractor shall use the beneficiary’s CC&D status to apply the correct copayment and deductible and perform updates in accordance with TOM Chapter 23, Section 3.
Separate catastrophic caps are maintained for Continued Health Care Benefits Program (CHCBP), in accordance with TOM Chapter 23, Section 3.
C.2.7.2.2. The Contractor shall receive and provide reporting on the maintenance of CHCBP catastrophic caps (CDRL Q120).
C.2.8. Claims Processing Edits
The Contractor shall support claims adjudication rules specific to the POS, including separate rules for different MTF electronic health records (EHR) systems.
The Contractor shall apply comprehensive edits at the point of dispensing in accordance with commercial best practices. New claims shall be screened against the complete patient profile (see C.2.3) and the appropriate benefit design in force for that date and POS. The Contractor shall return appropriate clinical warnings or administrative alerts.
The Contractor shall perform real-time edits that may be specific to DoD and fall outside standard commercial practice, including but not limited to Prescription Monitoring Program, sanctioned providers, safety reviews established through the Uniform Formulary process, and the ability to suppress real-time edits by POS based on Government direction.
The Contractor shall be responsible for processing claims with dates of service prior to the start of this contract. This includes initial submission of claims, and also any adjustments, corrections, cancellations or recoupments. The Contractor shall perform all necessary research to process the claim according to benefit design and formulary restrictions in effect on the date of service.
At the Government’s direction, the Contractor shall process any claim or prescription order. The Contractor shall apply any required overrides to allow the prescription to process successfully, resulting in a “paid” status.
State of Emergency (SOE) Declarations
C.2.8.6.1. The Contractor shall monitor SOE declarations issued by Federal and State Governments and make timely recommendations to the Government for implementation of
HT940220R0002 Page C7 of C79 Amendment 2
"Emergency Refill Too Soon Procedures" for areas placed under a SOE. The recommendation will include the designated ending date for the SOE.
C.2.8.6.2. Upon approval by the Government, the Contractor shall have the capability to bypass the refill too soon edit and allow the refill to be processed for areas covered by the state of emergency. The Government may also direct the Contractor to implement these measures for specific areas outside of a declared SOE.
C.2.8.6.3. The TMOP shall not ship medications to areas under declared emergency without confirming that delivery by carrier and receipt by beneficiary, is possible. For packages shipped prior to the emergency declaration that were reported lost or missing, the Contractor shall immediately ship the replacement to the beneficiary’s alternate address and refund copay for the lost shipment upon request.
C.2.8.6.4. The Contractor shall provide standard emergency operating procedures which address the following:
• Avoid waste when shipping to areas where there is disaster, including holding shipments, confirming carrier delivery availability, and verifying current beneficiary location.
• Facilitate beneficiary access to medications during a declared emergency at both retail and mail POS, including but not limited to bypassing edits, replacing lost shipments, and shipping to alternate addresses. Facilitating access at MHS GENESIS POS will be limited to bypass of edits.
• Maintaining communication channels to keep stakeholders informed, including:
o Beneficiaries: how they can receive their medications, in coordination with DHA
Communications.
o MTFs: possible patient movement, use over override codes, and how to transfer prescriptions o Retail Network: possible patient influx (e.g., local MTF being incapacitated) o DHA leadership: continual monitoring of SOE and recommendations for extension or early termination of emergency operation procedures
• Identify pharmacies impacted and advise of open network pharmacies within the impacted area
C.2.8.6.5. After an event, the Contractor shall provide reporting on the overrides that were granted under the Emergency procedures (CDRL R070). An event may be comprised of a number of individual Emergency Declarations (i.e., a hurricane that impacts a number of counties and states).
C.2.9. Other Health Insurance (OHI)
The Contractor‘s OHI file shall be the system of record for OHI. In all cases where possible OHI is identified, including but not limited to leads provided by the Managed Care Support Contractors (MCSC), pharmaceutical manufacturers, claim forms, beneficiary declarations, and Contractor’s internal files, the Contractor shall investigate and develop OHI
HT940220R0002 Page C8 of C79 Amendment 2 records in accordance with TOM, Chapter 23, Section 3, TOM Chapter 10, Section 5, and TRM, Chapter 4.
The Contractor shall implement processes to maximize the identification of OHI, including but not limited to utilizing commercial services or data sources.
In the event that OHI records in DEERS are inconsistent with the Contractor’s system, the Contractor shall, as part of the claims adjudication process, utilize logic to determine which source is the most reliable. Such logic shall take into consideration a number of factors, including but not limited to the completeness of the DEERS OHI record (a complete record vs. a placeholder), the type of benefit associated with the record (medical comprehensive vs.
pharmacy), and the age of the record.
When new OHI is identified, the Contractor shall pursue recoupment for past claims and build out the beneficiary’s profile for future claims. (See C.2.8.4.) Post-adjudication, the Contractor shall perform reviews to ensure the claim processed correctly and update either DEERS or their system as necessary to maintain consistency.
The Contractor shall have a mechanism to allow a DEERS OHI record to be bypassed for up to one year based on the beneficiary’s attestation that such OHI does not exist. Claims within that time will continue to process without rejecting for the reported OHI record.
The Contractor shall document their policies for the application of OHI information in claims processing, including the use of different types of DEERS records and how discrepancies are resolved. This documentation will be made available for the Government’s review upon request.
The Contractor shall provide reporting to the Government on OHI development (CDRL Q110) and cost avoidance (CDRL Q111).
C.2.10. Claims Processing System Documentation
The Contractor shall develop and maintain comprehensive documentation of all aspects of claims processing. This documentation shall include the items listed below as well as any supplemental information provided by the Contractor. The sum of all this documentation shall allow the Government to correctly determine how any given claims processing scenario will adjudicate. Updated versions of any of these documents shall be made available to the Government upon request.
The Contractor shall maintain all payer sheets used in the transmission of DoD claims from all POS.
The Contractor shall maintain a benefit design document and provide the Government with access to the current version via a web-based platform. The Contractor's presentation of the benefit design within this document shall remain consistent with the elements of the document initially provided by the Government and shall be in a format agreed to by the Government. The benefit design shall contain formulary and benefit restrictions based on beneficiary category, HT940220R0002 Page C9 of C79 Amendment 2 enrollment category, POS, medication by category, and any other factors, including but not limited to:
• MTF Basic and Extended Core Formularies
• Compound inclusions and exclusions
• Covered over-the-counter (OTCs)
• Federal Ceiling Price (FCP) Non-Compliant Retail Exclusions
• Non-Formulary Drugs
• PA
• Step-Therapy Drugs
