DOD offers comprehensive health care coverage to millions of beneficiaries through TRICARE, a system of health care that DOD purchases from private insurers to supplement the health care that DOD provides through its military and dental treatment facilities (DTF). Purchased dental services are provided through separate programs for different groups of beneficiaries: (1) the ADDP provides dental care to active duty servicemembers who do not have ready access to a DTF; (2) the TDP provides dental insurance to eligible dependents of active duty servicemembers, and to National Guard and Reserve members and their dependents; and (3) the TRDP provides dental insurance to retired uniformed service members and their dependents. DHA is responsible for awarding, administering, and overseeing contracts with private insurers for these programs. GAO examined (1) how DHA developed the requirements for its current dental services contracts and (2) the reasons for DHA's use of separate contracts for different beneficiary groups.

"DOD offers health care coverage-medical and pharmacy services-to eligible beneficiaries through its TRICARE program. DOD contracts with managed care support contractors to provide medical services, and separately with a pharmacy benefit manager to provide pharmacy services that include the TRICARE mail-order pharmacy and access to a retail pharmacy network. This is referred to as a carve-out contract structure. DOD's current pharmacy contract ends in the fall of 2014. DOD has been preparing for its upcoming contract through acquisition planning, which included identifying any needed changes to contract requirements.Senate Report 112-173, which accompanied a version of the NDAA for fiscal year 2013, mandated that GAO review DOD's health care contracts. For this report, GAO examined: (1) how DOD identified changes needed, if any, to requirements for its upcoming pharmacy services contract; and (2) what, if any, assessment DOD has done of the appropriateness of its current contract structure. GAO reviewed DOD acquisition planning documents and federal regulations, and interviewed officials from DOD and its pharmacy services contractor."
