Dear (Provider
Name):
|
|
|
|
The Department
of Defense, through Defense Health Agency (DHA), is responsible
for appropriate cost containment for services provided to TRICARE
beneficiaries. One particular area of concern has been the costs
billed for prescription drugs. In an effort to establish a Uniformed
Military Services drug benefit and claim processing requirement
for all TRICARE eligibles, the Deputy Director, DHA, has determined
that pharmacy claims submitted for services outside the United States
(U.S.) must be reimbursed in accordance with the reimbursement formulas
for TRICARE U.S. claims as established under the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR).
|
|
|
|
This letter notifies
you that effective 60 days from date on this letter, (Date),
overseas pharmacy claims submitted will be processed in accordance
with the reimbursement formulas for TRICARE claims in the U.S. which
are from a schedule of allowable charges based on the Average Wholesale
Price (AWP) rates plus $3.00 administration fee. Should you have
any questions regarding this requirement, please write me at (Contractor
Mailing Address).
