Military Tricare beneficiaries seeking health care in the civilian community will see more accurate directories of medical providers<\/a> in the future, said the director of the Defense Health Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who are trying to find a provider in the Tricare directory of providers for their area, and for the needed specialty, are too often finding that the civilian provider isn\u2019t available for a variety of reasons, such as no longer being in the networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a big, issue, and officials are working on it, said Army Lt. Gen. Telita Crosland, director of the Defense Health Agency. \u201cI got a lot of feedback that the network directories are terribly inadequate,\u201d she said, during a family forum at the annual meeting of the Association of the U.S. Army Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the next generation of Tricare contracts<\/a>, which will tentatively kick off in 2025, depending on a pending protest<\/a>, the contractors will check monthly on the adequacy in each of the areas. \u201cThere are penalties for not having a network that has capacity that actually leads to appointments to see individuals,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s not to say we\u2019re not addressing it now\u201d with contractors in the U.S. as well as overseas, she said, to get good data for patients to be able to make appointments and see providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials \u201cgot the wrong measure\u201d in the current contracts for requirements for networks of medical providers, she said. \u201cThe contractor is doing exactly what we asked them to do, which is to sign people up. They do that in good faith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of the feedback she had been hearing about the provider directories, she did a small test, and had 10 team members call 10 numbers in the National Capital Region to get a Tricare behavioral health appointment. It resulted in three appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s dreadful,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
