The TRICARE Operations Manual (TOM) is incorporated by reference into the Managed Care Support Contracts (MCSCs) and is the primary vehicle for operational guidelines and instructions to the contractor. The TOM provides a mechanism for clarifying and modifying existing contractual requirements, adding new specifications/requirements and deleting obsolete information. All or portions of the TOM may also be incorporated by reference into other TRICARE contracts.
