PART 1
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 This is a non-personal services contract to provide TRICARE Claims Review Services
(TCRS).
1.2 Description of services/introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform TCRS as defined in this Performance Work Statement (PWS) except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this PWS.
1.3 Background: The Defense Health Agency (DHA) supports the delivery of integrated, affordable, and high quality health services for more than 9.6 million beneficiaries of the Military Health System (MHS) and is responsible for shared services, functions, and activities of the MHS and other common clinical and business processes in support of the Military Services.
The MHS is a complex integrated healthcare system that consists of healthcare delivery, medical education, public health, private sector partnerships and innovative medical research and development. The MHS has two major care delivery systems. The direct care system provides care through military treatment facilities (MTFs). The purchased-care system, TRICARE, is comprised of two health care options, Select and Prime. TRICARE Prime is similar to a health maintenance organization (HMO) with a Point of Service Option and requires beneficiary enrollment. All Active Duty Service Members (ADSM) are TRICARE Prime enrollees; Active Duty family members may elect to enroll in TRICARE Prime; other eligible beneficiaries pay an enrollment fee to enroll in TRICARE Prime. TRICARE Select is a fee for service type plan in which the beneficiary (non-ADSM) may choose to use a TRICARE-authorized provider without a referral or pre-authorization, in most situations. The two options of TRICARE are described fully in 32 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 199.17. TRICARE provides care through six purchased-care support contractors, including two Managed Care Support Contracts (MCSCs) (East and West Regions), TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP), TRICARE Medicare Eligible Program (TMEP), Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP) and TRICARE Pharmacy Program (TPharm) contracts. The purchased-care system has more than 400,000 network individual providers (primary care, behavioral health, and specialty care providers) and more than 3,200 TRICARE network acute care hospitals.
1.4 Objectives: The objectives of this contract are to support the missions of the MHS which enable the National Defense Strategy by providing a Medically Ready Force, a Ready Medical Force, and improving the health of all those entrusted to its care.

TRICARE Purchased-Care Contracts. The Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) will provide redacted and conformed copies of TRICARE purchased care contracts deemed pertinent to the performance of the compliance reviews.

The Government will provide copies of Common Letters issued by DHA Contracting Officers (COs) to purchased-care contractors. A “common letter” is any written correspondence, to multiple contractors, that has the same content and is used by all affected COs to convey information, data, or request a response. The common letter may or may not be in response to a contractor’s inquiry. It may originate from any organization involved with administration of TRICARE purchased-care contracts and their inherent requirements. A common letter addresses technical and/or administrative information within the existing scope and dollar value of affected TRICARE purchased-care contracts. Common letters can impact claims processing procedures or reimbursement determination utilized by a TRICARE purchased-care contractor which are not published in TRICARE manuals or regulations, yet requires the purchased-care contractor to comply with the letters directive.
Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Sanctioned Provider List. The contractor shall use the DHHS sanctioned healthcare provider list at https://oig.hhs.gov/exclusions/exclusions_list.asp to determine if purchased-care contractors are erroneously reimbursing sanctioned healthcare providers.
Access to the following Government System(s) and/or Application(s). The Government will grant access to the following systems only after the contractor and its subcontractor’s staffs that utilize systems are compliant with the enhanced safeguarding methods for unclassified DoD information, personnel security, and clearance requirements.
Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). The Government will provide the contractor with access to the DMDC’s General Inquiry DEERS (GIQD) and the Catastrophic Cap and Deductible Research Application (CCD Web Research) interface environment for the use of validating medical eligibility and beneficiary deductible and cost-share liability under the TRICARE benefit program. Connectivity to DEERS shall be in accordance with TSM, Chapter 1, Section 1.1.
The Government will provide the contractor with access to the TRICARE Patient Encounter Processing and Reporting (PEPR) portal to access the TRICARE Encounter Data (TED) Audit (TA) application and the PEPR Care Detail Information System (PCDIS) web-based applications (Section J, Attachment J-1, PEPR Account Activation Request Form (AARF)).
TA Application. The TA application is the primary online application used by the contractor and Government. Reports generated from the TA application are used to assess the claims processing performance of TRICARE purchased-care contractors against Government claims
HT940221R0002 Page C15 of C48 processing performance standards and to support the Agency’s reporting of PIIA activities. (See Section J, Attachments J-10 for examples of TA reports). The TA application provides:
A mechanism for the contractor and Government to track and monitor the claims processing performance of TRICARE purchased care contractors;
Allows for the retention of a compliance review trail with the appropriate error codes and error amounts; and
Facilitates the input of a detailed explanation for error code and error amount assessment.
PCDIS. The PCDIS functions as a “search window” into the purchased care claims database.
PCDIS data includes all processed TED claims for care provided to TRICARE beneficiaries by civilian network or non-network providers. PCDIS is utilized to:
Verify provider information (i.e. Provider Identification/National Provider Identification numbers, Medicare numbers, Area Wage Index, etc.);
Verify provider network/non-network status;
Identify duplicate claim submissions;
Query TED detail claims and summary data for institutional and professional purchased-care data; and, to Query patient or sponsor healthcare medical and pharmacy claims history.
