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).

HT940220R0002 Page C2 of C79 Amendment 2

C.1.1. Overall Program Objectives

C.1.3. Government Furnished Information

The Contractor shall interface with the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS), according to the requirements established in the TRICARE Systems Manual.

The Government will provide licenses for the Contractor to access and use DEERS applications.

The Government will provide the Contractor with access to a medical pricing catalog which will be used for replenishment, both at TMOP and designated specialty pharmacies, and for adjudicating MTF Composite Healthcare System (CHCS) claims.

The Government will provide initial Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and some additional technical specifications for the following systems:

• PDW

• CHCS

• Forensic Toxicology Drug Testing Laboratory Information Management System

(FTDTL IMS)

• Immunization Tracking System

• Theater Medical Data Store (TMDS)

• Clinical Data Repository/Health Data Repository (CHDR)

• MHS GENESIS

HT940220R0002 Page C3 of C79 Amendment 2

The Government will provide a semi-annual file of beneficiary addresses for evaluating and reporting on compliance with network access standards.

The DHA Communications will design, develop, and print beneficiary educational materials, including written materials, briefings, and other methods of publicizing the TRICARE benefit, excluding letters and other communication pieces required under this contract. The Government will provide an electronic portal where printed items can be ordered by the Contractor.

The Government will provide the PDW Data Dictionary and Data Schema, as described under C.11.8.

Before the start of pharmacy services, the Government will provide (via previous contractors) batch files containing all retail, mail, and MTF claims along with Prior Authorization (PA) and MN determinations for the past two year period. The Government (via the outgoing contractor) will also provide an Other Health Insurance (OHI) data file.

C.1.4. Requirements Documents

Statutory and Regulatory Authority

• 10 U.S.C. §1074g Pharmacy Benefits Program

• 32 C.F.R. 199 Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniform Services

(CHAMPUS)

• 10 U.S.C. §1086 Contracts for Health Benefits for Certain Members, Former Members, and Their Dependents

• 38 U.S.C. §8126 Limitation on Prices of Drugs Procured by Department and Certain other Federal Agencies

When changes are made to the above statutes or regulations, they are automatically incorporated into the contract requirements.

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.2.5. If the Contractor receives a prescription or supporting documentation (e.g., paper claim, PA request) for a beneficiary with Contractor-administered OHI, the Contractor shall internally transfer to its commercial operation in lieu of rejecting or returning to source.

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.2.6.2.2. Contractor downtime concurrent with external system downtime is excluded from the system availability calculation.

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).
