6.7 Family Member, Beneficiary, And Insured Roles
As a sponsor, the person may also be the subscriber who holds the DoD policy for health care benefits. Another person, through associations and relationships, may be a family member to the sponsor, which implies a role as a beneficiary. As a beneficiary, the person may also be an insured who is covered by a DoD policy for health care benefits.
7.0 TRICARE POPULATIONS
The TRICARE programs serve a wide range of beneficiaries holding various statuses throughout their lifetime. The following information details the populations covered by the TRICARE benefit. The definition of the populations may be modified as legislation or DHA requires. These populations include:
• Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs) and ADFMs. These may include members from both the active and reserve components.
• Transitional Assistance Management Program (TAMP) Sponsors and Family Members
• Transitional Survivors of Active Duty Deceased Sponsors - Family members of an ADSM who died while on Active Duty. This also includes the family members of a Guard/Reserve sponsor who died while on active duty for more than 30 days. Children of an ADSM or a Guard/Reserve sponsor who died while on active duty on or after October 7, 2001 remain in “transitional survivor” status until they “age out” or otherwise lose TRICARE eligibility.
• Survivors of Active Duty Deceased Sponsors - Primarily spouses of an ADSM or Guard/Reserve sponsor on active duty for more than 30 days who died over three years ago while on active duty. This group includes children of an ADSM or Guard/Reserve sponsor on active duty for more than 30 days that died while on active duty prior to October 7, 2001.
• Retired Sponsors and Family Members - Retirees eligible for retirement pay and their family members as well as Medal of Honor (MOH) recipients.
• Transitional Survivors of Guard/Reserve Deceased Sponsors - Family members of a Guard/Reserve sponsor who died within the past three years, while on active duty for 30 days or less.
• Survivors of Guard/Reserve Deceased Sponsors - Family members of a Guard/Reserve sponsor who died in service over three years ago, while on active duty for 30 days or less.
• Selected Reserve members and their family members.
8.0 TYPES OF HCDP PLANS
Delivery programs are methods of providing basic health benefits. Coverage under these programs may be either individual or family, depending on the number of beneficiaries enrolled and beneficiaries’ affiliation to the sponsor, as well as the program definition. There are two types of plans within DEERS: assigned and enrolled.

• Assigned plans represent the base entitlement of a beneficiary (e.g., TRICARE Standard). Assigned plans are based on a sponsor’s affiliation to a DoD organization (e.g., Army Active Duty); therefore, when a sponsor’s DoD affiliation changes (e.g., Army Active Duty to Army Reserves), a new assigned plan is created for both the service member and family members.
• Enrolled plans represent another level of benefit into which the beneficiary has elected enrollment (e.g., TRICARE Prime).
• TRICARE Extra allows a beneficiary eligible for TRICARE Standard to seek care from a TRICARE network provider, thus obtaining a discount on services and reduced cost-share. Since TRICARE Extra acts like TRICARE Standard for DEERS purposes, DEERS does not track this option.
8.1 Medical Health Care Delivery Plans
The following sections detail the various types of health care plans currently available within the DoD. The contractor is required to implement a system that allows changes to health care plans and HCDP plan coverage codes as legislation and regulation require. Refer to HCDP Plan Codes on the DEERS web site (https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/dwp/index.jsp), for specific information related to each plan.
8.1.1 Assigned Plans
These plans are the defaults assigned by DEERS for beneficiaries based on their eligibility status. Assigned plans do not require enrollment actions.
8.1.1.1 Assigned Health Care Plan: ADSMs - TRICARE Prime, No Primary Care Manager (PCM) Selected
TRICARE Prime for AD Sponsors, No PCM Assigned is the default coverage assigned by DEERS for active duty sponsors. They are entitled to Direct Care (DC) and pharmacy benefits. This plan is the default for ADSMs who are not enrolled in a specific MTF or TRICARE Prime Remote (TPR). These enrollees are deemed Prime but do not have a PCM. (See Section 1.4.)
8.1.1.2 Assigned Health Care Plan: TRICARE Standard (Prior to January 1, 2018)
The TRICARE Standard HCDP is the basic coverage assigned by DEERS for eligible beneficiaries and results when a beneficiary under the age of 65, or 65 and over but not Medicare eligible, is entitled to both DC and Civilian Health Care (CHC).
8.1.1.3 Assigned Health Care Plan: DC Only
This plan identifies beneficiaries who are entitled only to DC in MTFs on or after January 1, 2018, the default benefit for all non-ADSM beneficiaries. Examples of the eligible population include dependent parents and parents-in-law, or beneficiaries who are eligible for the Medicare benefit that do not have both Medicare Parts A and B.

This health care plan is available for the following population(s):
• Family members of sponsored and non-sponsored NATO Foreign Military
8.1.2 Enrolled Plans
8.1.2.1 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TRICARE Prime - ADSM
ADSMs eligible for DC benefits are required to enroll into TRICARE Prime. Beneficiaries then select or are assigned a PCM in a MTF.
8.1.2.2 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TRICARE Select
Beginning January 1, 2018, the self-managed, Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) network option under the TRICARE program established by 10 USC 1075 and 32 CFR 199.17 to replace TRICARE Extra and Standard after December 31, 2017.
8.1.2.3 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TPR
The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) of 1998 requires medical care coverage for ADSMs assigned to remote locations. This coverage is provided through the TPR Program.
Eligibility for this health care coverage requires that the ADSM’s permanent duty location and residence be more than 50 miles or approximately one hour’s drive from a MTF or designated clinic or in a authorized zip code. Under this program, the ADSM may enroll and select a civilian or USFHP PCM. Since in some locations PCMs are not available, ADSMs may be enrolled in TPR without a PCM assignment.
8.1.2.4 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TRICARE Prime
Eligible beneficiaries may elect to enroll into TRICARE Prime, with an MTF, a civilian network provider, or a USFHP coverage. Beneficiaries must enroll through an authorized enrolling organization. Beneficiaries then select or are assigned a PCM, and under some coverage plans may pay an annual fee for coverage. All the TRICARE Prime enrolled populations will share the same HCDPs and may be differentiated only by the network provider type code.
8.1.2.5 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TPRADFM
Eligibility for this health care coverage requires that the ADSM’s permanent duty location and residence be more than 50 miles or approximately one hour’s drive from an MTF or designated clinic, as determined by residential and daily work location zip codes; and that the family member has the same residential zip code as the sponsor. Resides with rules vary based on the status of the sponsor. Under this program the family members may enroll and select a civilian PCM. Since in some locations PCMs are not available, ADFMs may be enrolled in TPRADFM without a PCM assignment.

8.1.2.6 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TRICARE Plus
The TRICARE Plus program is an MTF-based primary care program. There are two types of TRICARE Plus coverage to differentiate between those beneficiaries with a CHC entitlement and those without. Coverage is at the individual level; each enrolled person will have an individual policy.
8.1.2.7 Enrolled Health Care Plan: Uniformed Services Family Health Plan (USFHP)
The USFHPs cover beneficiaries age 65 and over that are Medicare-eligible, as well as dependent parent and parent-in-laws that have been grandfathered into the program. These beneficiaries are enrolled in separate USFHP plans for persons only having a DC entitlement. Other categories of beneficiaries who enroll to the USFHP are enrolled into the appropriate TRICARE Prime plan with a USFHP network provider type code.
8.1.2.8 Enrolled Health Care Plan: Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP)
The CHCBP is optional coverage to which beneficiaries may subscribe for a specified period (not to exceed 36 months) after the sponsor’s entitlement to DoD benefits ends. Enrollment into the CHCBP program is performed by the CHCBP enrollment contractor. Details of this program are beyond the scope of this document (see the TPM, Chapter 10).
8.1.2.9 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS) Program
The TRS program is optional coverage to which Reserve Component (RC) members may subscribe while in the Selected Reserve.
8.1.2.10 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR) Program
TRR is a premium-based TRICARE health plan available for purchase by qualified members of the Retired Reserve and qualified survivors that offers health coverage for Retired Reserve members and their eligible family members. The RCs will validate members’ and survivors’ qualifications to purchase TRR coverage and will identify qualified members/survivors in the DEERS. Beneficiaries enrolled in the TRR program are entitled to care at the MTF.
8.1.2.11 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TRICARE Young Adult (TYA) Standard (Effective January 1, 2018, TYA Select)
TYA Standard is a premium-based TRICARE health plan available for purchase by qualified young adult dependents/survivors of ADSMs, retired service members, members of the Selected Reserve, and members of the Retired Reserve. This plan allows young adult dependents to purchase TRICARE Standard coverage until reaching the age of 26, after they have lost eligibility for TRICARE due to age and not otherwise eligible for TRICARE Program medical coverage. Beneficiaries purchasing TYA Standard coverage are entitled to space available care at the MTF.

8.1.2.12 Enrolled Health Care Plan: TYA Prime
TYA Prime is a premium-based TRICARE health plan available for purchase by qualified young adult dependents/survivors of ADSMs and retired service members. These plans allow young adult dependents to purchase TRICARE Prime coverage until reaching the age of 26 after they have lost eligibility for TRICARE due to age and not otherwise eligible for TRICARE Program medical coverage. Beneficiaries may enroll to a PCM in their regional contractor network, within a MTF, or a USFHP.
8.2 Special Health Care Programs
DEERS supports any special health care program mandated by the DoD. These special health care programs are programs into which a beneficiary can enroll or register concurrently with other assigned or enrolled health care coverage plans to which they are entitled. Information needed for claims processing purposes shall be returned as a Special Health Care Program within the Health Care Coverage Claims Response. Contractors may also utilize the web-based General Inquiry of DEERS (GIOD) application to obtain special program coverage information. See the TPM and the TRICARE Operations Manual (TOM) for details regarding these programs.
8.2.1 TRICARE Extended Care Health Option (ECHO)
ECHO beneficiaries must be ADFMs, have a qualifying condition, and be registered to receive ECHO benefits on DEERS. Contractors are required to review appropriate documentation, including registration documents, and ascertain that individuals are ECHO eligible. Once a determination that an individual is ECHO eligible, contractors must register the individual on DEERS. Registration will be performed through DOES and will include entering at least the following information: 1) ECHO, as a Special Health Care Coverage Plan Code and 2) Registration Start Date. If the Begin Date is not entered, DOES will enter a default date using the 20th of the month rule. (NOTE: Many ECHO enrollees may have received benefits and had claims under the Program for Persons with Disabilities (PFPWD) in the past.)
8.2.2 Community Based Health Care Organizations (CBHCO)
CBHCO is a program that allows Guard and Reserve members injured while on active duty to return home for continued health care while they are evaluated for return to duty, medical release, or medical board. CBHCO enrollees must also be enrolled in TRICARE Prime or TPR, depending on where they reside. Enrollment in the program requires approval by the member’s service.
8.2.3 Medical Retention Processing Unit (MRPU)
MRPU is a program assigned to service members who are medically non-deployable but who are retained in the MTF’s service area for medical reasons. MRPU enrollees must be enrolled to TRICARE Prime at that MTF that retained medical management.
8.2.4 Smoking Cessation
Smoking Cessation is a demonstration program restricted to certain states. This plan may be shown in eligibility history or claims responses.

8.2.5 TRICARE Dental Program (TDP)
The TDP offers worldwide coverage to all eligible family members of Uniformed Service active duty personnel and to members of the Selected Reserve and Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) and their eligible family members. ADSMs, former spouses, parents, in-laws, disabled veterans, foreign personnel, and retirees and their families are not eligible for the TDP. For purposes of this contract, the geographic area of coverage for the CONUS includes the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. OCONUS service area includes Canada, all other countries, island masses and territorial waters.
8.2.6 TRICARE Retiree Dental Program (TRDP)
The TRDP offers coverage to all eligible personnel retired from the Uniformed Services, unremarried surviving spouses, eligible dependents, and former members of the armed forces who are Medal of Honor (MOH) recipients and their immediate dependents. The TRDP currently has two programs: the Basic program which is closed to new enrollments and the Enhanced program to which all TRDP enrollees shall be enrolled. The TRDP is a worldwide program. The TRDP Basic program offers coverage for dental services rendered in the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and Canada. TRDP Enhanced program benefits are offered worldwide.
8.2.7 Active Duty Dental Program (ADDP)
The ADDP provides worldwide dental coverage to all ADSMs of the Uniformed Services, eligible members of the Reserves and National Guard, and those Foreign Force Members (FFMs) eligible for care pursuant to an approved agreement (e.g., reciprocal health care agreement, NATO Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), Partnership for Peace (PFP) SOFA). The Uniformed Services include the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy (USN), the U.S. Air Force (USAF), the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC), the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), the Commissioned Corps of the NOAA, and the Commissioned Corps of USPHS. The Commissioned Corps of the USPHS is not included in this program. The ADDP shall supplement care provided in the DoD’s Dental Treatment Facilities (DTFs), and shall provide care to those ADSMs living in regions without access to DTFs. The ADDP has two components:
• ADSMs referred from military DTFs for civilian dental care; and
• ADSMs having a duty location and residence greater than 50 miles from a DTF will be required to comply with the requirements and limitations of the Remote Active Duty Dental Program (RADDP) before receiving dental care.
9.0 IDENTIFICATION SCHEMA FOR ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE
9.1 Primary And Secondary Identifiers
Identification of persons in the DEERS database is established via primary identifiers and secondary identifiers. A primary identifier must be unambiguous, so that information systems and software can process it without the need for intervention by users. Secondary identifiers can be ambiguous and must be processed by users who match these secondary identifiers to persons in the DEERS database. More information on primary and secondary identifiers is explained in the next section of this document.
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.2
DEERS Concepts And Definitions
14
9.2 Beneficiary Identification
DEERS is the definitive system for person identification. Beneficiaries in the DEERS database are positively identified using a system-generated DEERS Identifier (DEERS ID). DEERS IDs are intended to be system-to-system identifiers and may not be assigned or altered by users. Each DEERS ID is formed by a combination of the following:
• Family Identifier (Family ID), a DEERS-assigned nine digit number unique to each family, plus a
• Beneficiary Identifier (Beneficiary ID), a DEERS-assigned two digit number unique to each individual in a family
A person may have more than one DEERS ID, stemming from multiple entitlements. DEERS IDs positively identify each beneficiary. DEERS IDs serve as primary identifiers and are used by information systems when passing data about individual beneficiaries and families.
A person may have multiple DEERS IDs over time and some of these instances are described as follows:
• A person may be entitled to DoD benefits via his or her simultaneous association to more than one sponsor. For example, a person may be a family member in two sponsored families at the same time, such as when both spouses in a family are sponsors. This condition is known as multiple entitlements. While beneficiaries may have multiple entitlements in such situations, they may only receive benefits under one entitlement at any given moment in time.
• Entitlement periods may be sequential, such as when a son or daughter of a sponsor joins a Uniformed Service and becomes a sponsor. In this case, the person would have a DEERS ID as a family member and a second DEERS ID as a sponsor. However, becoming a sponsor terminates the individual’s previous eligibility for benefits as a family member.
9.3 Patient Identification
All persons in DEERS have a primary identifier called the Electronic Data Interchange Person Identifier (EDIPI), which is a DEERS-assigned 10 digit number. This field is also known as the Electronic Data Interchange Person Number (EDIPN) or the Patient Identifier (PatID). The primary purpose is to reliably access patient and person level information.
9.4 Person Identification and Secondary Identification
Sources external to DEERS identify persons initially in the DEERS database using only secondary identifiers. The secondary identifiers are:
• Sponsor’s SSN• First three characters of the last name• DOB
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.2
DEERS Concepts And Definitions
15
Any one secondary identifier, such as the sponsor SSN, could be duplicated across several beneficiaries. Therefore, each beneficiary must be positively identified using at least two secondary identifiers. Usually, a person may be positively identified by an end user by matching an SSN along with the first three characters of the last name and/or the DOB. Data for both sponsors and individual family members may be accessed in this manner.
Since DEERS does not contain every family member’s SSN, the user may access these individuals by using the sponsor’s secondary identification information. This returns a list of each family member associated with the sponsor.
In order to obtain a DEERS ID for a beneficiary, a system interfacing with DEERS must provide secondary identification information in one of several forms. This ensures the correct beneficiary is found, received, and stored with a DEERS Identifier. In Figure 3.1.2-1, the “Inquiry Information” column describes required information entering DEERS, and the “Response” column describes information returned by DEERS.
9.5 Person Identification For Business Events
The following table identifies the options and type of data necessary to perform a DEERS/Medical business event for system-to-system interactions. Legend (an “X” in a column indicates that the information may be used):
• Secondary identification: refer to the secondary identification section above.
• Individual (I)/Family (F): indicates if the business event can be done for an individual, a family, or both.

9.6 HCDP Enrollment Management Contractor (EMC) Identification
HCDP EMCs are entities that are authorized to enroll MHS-eligible sponsors and family members into DoD coverage plans and are responsible for maintaining an individual’s HCDP policy. These organizations include MCSCs, USFHP providers, and the TRICARE Overseas Program (TOP) contractor. DEERS tracks the enrolling organization that is responsible for an individual’s policy. A person only has one EMC that is responsible for managing their coverage at any given point in time. DEERS creates a system identifier for each enrolling organization, and distributes the identifier to each system. This system identifier is used to identify the enrolling organization system in system-to-system interactions with DEERS.
9.7 PCM Enrolling Division Identification
Within the MHS, enrollment locations are identified using the identifiers within Defense Medical Information System (DMIS). These DMISs may represent an actual physical location such as an MTF, or a grouping of providers within the DC, Civilian, or USFHP network. Examples include MTFs, satellite clinics of MTFs, and possibly clinics within the MTF, USFHPs, and designated administrative DMISs.
Downloads are available on the DMIS web site (http://health.mil/Military-Health-Topics/Technology/Support-Areas/Geographic-Reference-Information/DMIS-ID-Tables).
9.8 PCM Identification
DEERS uses the NPI as the National Provider ID. The contractor is responsible for assigning a PCM ID to its PCMs and providing this identifier to DEERS. The contractor is also responsible for

maintaining a crosswalk from the contractor’s provider ID to the national provider ID (if applicable). Contractors must not re-use PCM IDs.
9.9 Policy Identification
The contractor must be able to match a policy using this information. DEERS uses the following combination to uniquely identify a policy:
• DEERS Family ID• HCDP Plan Coverage Code• DEERS Policy Begin Date
A sponsor can be a subscriber to multiple policies but may be enrolled as a beneficiary only to one.

DEERS Functions
1.0 As the person-centric centralized data repository of Department of Defense (DoD) personnel and medical data and the National Enrollment Database (NED) for the portability of the Military Health System (MHS) worldwide TRICARE program, Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) is designed to provide benefits eligibility and entitlements, TRICARE enrollments, and claims coverage processing.
This chapter will detail the events to verify eligibility, perform enrollments, perform a claims inquiry, and the associated updates of address information, enter fees, Catastrophic Cap And Deductible (CC&D) information, Other Health Insurance (OHI) and the Standard Insurance Table (SIT). The expected data stores for the contractor are illustrated in Figure 3.1.4-1 through Figure 3.1.4-4. Deviation from the intended concept of operations between the contractor and DEERS shown in the figure below is at the contractor’s technical and financial risk.
1.1 Partial Match
A partial match response may be returned for any inquiry that does not use a DEERS ID or Patient ID. Eligibility may result in a partial match situation due to person ambiguity. There will be a separate listing for each person or family matching the requested Social Security Number (SSN). The listing includes the sponsor and family member identification information needed to determine the correct beneficiary or family including the DEERS ID, the Patient ID, or possibly both. The requesting organization must select which of the multiple listings is correct based on documents or information at hand. After this selection, the requesting organization would use the additional information returned (e.g., Date Of Birth (DOB), Name) “to resend the inquiry.”
1.2 Health Care Delivery Program (HCDP) Eligibility and Enrollment
The rules for determining a beneficiary’s entitlement to health care benefits are applied by rules-based software within DEERS. DEERS is the sole repository for these DoD rules, and no other eligibility determination outside of DEERS is considered valid. Whenever data about an individual sponsor or a family member changes, DEERS reapplies these rules. DEERS receives daily, weekly, and monthly updates to this data, which is why organizations must query DEERS for eligibility information before taking action. This ensures that the individual is still eligible to use the benefits and that the contractor has the most current information.
A beneficiary who is considered eligible for DoD benefits in accordance with DoD Instruction (DoDI) 1000.13 is not required to “sign up” for the TRICARE benefits associated with any DEERS assigned plan. If an authorized organization inquires about that beneficiary’s eligibility, DEERS reflects if he or she is eligible to use the benefits. The effective and expiration dates for assigned plan coverage are derived from DoDI 1000.13 rules and supporting information.

Note: Effective January 1, 2018, the “assigned plan” will be Direct Care (DC) Only for non-Active Duty Service Members (ADSMs).
1.2.1 Enrollment-Related Business Events
Enrollment related business events include:
• Eligibility for enrollment identifies current enrolled coverage plans and eligibility for enrollment into other coverage plans
• New enrollments are used for enrolling eligible sponsors and family members into a HCDP coverage plans or for adding family members to an existing family policy. Enrollments begin on the date specified by the enrolling organization and extend through the beneficiaries’ end of eligibility for the HCDP. New enrollments may also perform the following functions:
• Primary Care Manager (PCM) selection (if required/allowed by HCDP)• Update address, e-mail address and/or telephone number• Record that the enrollee has OHI
• Modifications of the current enrollment (updates) are used to change some information in the current enrollment plan. Modifications of the current enrollment include the following functions:
• Change or cancel a PCM selection• Transfer enrollment (enrollment portability) or cancel a transfer• Change enrollment begin date• Cancel enrollment/disenrollment• Change prior enrollment end date• Change prior enrollment end reason• Request an enrollment card replacement• Add OHI information for an enrollee• Request a replacement notice for PCM change or disenrollment
• Individual fee waiver information is used to indicate that an enrollee is exempt from paying enrollment fees.
• Enrollment fee payments and enrollment fee waiver entitlements are used to indicate payment of, or exception from payment of, enrollment fees. The Fee/Catastrophic Cap and Deductible (Fee/CCD) Web Research application is used to view this detailed information for a specified policy or to apply applicable fee/premium payments.
• Disenrollments are used to terminate the specified beneficiary’s enrollment. Disenrollments occur when a beneficiary has lost eligibility, voluntarily disenrolls (e.g., chooses not to re-enroll), or is involuntarily disenrolled (e.g., fails to pay enrollment fees).
• Defense Online Eligibility And Enrollment System (DOES) will display enrollment fee waiver entitlement periods that apply to the policy and details of the last fee

1.2.2 Defense Online Eligibility And Enrollment System (DOES)
DOES is a full function Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) application developed by Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) to support enrollment-related activity. DOES interacts with both the main DEERS database and the NED satellite database to provide enrolling organizations with eligibility and enrollment information, as well as the capability to update the NED with new enrollments and modifications to existing enrollments. The contractors are required to perform enrollment related functions through DOES, including:
• Enrollment• Disenrollment• PCM Change• PCM Cancellation and Transfer Cancellation• Transfer• Enrollment Period Change

DOES will display enrollment fees for the last Fiscal Year (FY) that DEERS has fees applied to the policy.
Note: Eligible TRICARE Standard beneficiaries will be automatically enrolled into the new TRICARE Select Plan with an enrollment date of January 1, 2018. Starting January 1, 2018, enrollments and catastrophic caps will be based on a Calendar Year (CY). To transition the fiscal year 2017 to the calendar year, FY 2017 will be extended to cover October 1, 2017 to December 31, 2017.
The DOES application meets the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) guidelines for a direct data entry application, and is data-content compliant for enrollment and disenrollment functions.
1.2.3 Beneficiary Self-Service Enrollment
Beneficiary Web Enrollment (BWE) serves all TRICARE eligible beneficiaries and will support most enrollment programs. BWE will interface with the contractor systems for the purposes of accommodating on-line payment of initial enrollment fees. See the BWE Enrollment Fee Gateway Technical Specification for more details.
DEERS will pre-populate data elements where possible. The beneficiary can perform the following enrollment events:
• Enrollment• PCM change• Address update• Transfer of enrollment (as a result of address update)• Disenrollment• Limited cancellation events• Submit an initial enrollment application, including any required fee payment• Add limited OHI• Request replacement enrollment card• Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) or Recurring Credit/Debit Card (RCC) payment
election• Allotment payment election (for programs where premium/fee payments may be
made by allotment)
The web application contains checks for beneficiary eligibility and hard edits requiring the beneficiary to fulfill established DEERS business rules and enrollment criteria. Upon completion of the web process, the beneficiary is informed that the enrollment actions may be reviewed by the appropriate contractor for accuracy and compliance with established regional and/or Military Treatment Facility (MTF) requirements, and that they will be contacted if additional information is

needed.
For effective dates prior to January 1, 2018, DEERS will send the contractor a Policy Notification Transaction (PNT), informing the contractor that either a pending enrollment (for programs with PCM requirements) or a new enrollment exists for the beneficiary. The contractor shall apply all PNTs for pending enrollments and/or PCMs and use the pending status to create workload reports. Using DOES, the contractor shall review or modify all pending enrollment-related activities within six calendar days of submission to DEERS, including any necessary contact with the beneficiary. DEERS will perform a daily process to finalize enrollment actions after six calendar days. DEERS will send a policy notification indicating the approval. If the enrollment is not accepted, the contractor shall cancel the enrollment using DOES, and send the beneficiary an explanatory letter within five calendar days. The contractors shall consider beneficiary provided data from BWE as having the same validity as beneficiary provided data on paper enrollment forms. DEERS will not provide support or interfaces to contractor web applications that perform any enrollment-related functions.
On and after January 1, 2018, there is no six day pending period for enrollments. However, for enrollments that require PCM assignment, the contractor is still required to review and verify PCM assignment following the MTF MOUs.
1.2.4 Eligibility For Enrollment
The DoD provides assigned HCDPs and plans when a person joins the DoD. DEERS determines coverage plans for which a beneficiary is eligible to enroll by using the DoD-assigned coverage in conjunction with additional eligibility information. The Eligibility for Enrollment Inquiry in DOES is used to view a person’s or family’s eligibility to enroll. [NOTE: The Eligibility For Enrollment Inquiry in DOES should not be used for other eligibility determinations. For example, USFHP providers should use Government Inquiry of DEERS (GIQD) and not DOES to determine if a person is eligible for a hospital admission.]
DEERS provides coverage plan information identifying the period of eligibility and/or enrollment for the coverage plan. A beneficiary can only be enrolled into the coverage plans that have an “eligible for” status. When a sponsor and family member are first added into DEERS, DEERS determines basic eligibility for health care benefits in accordance with DoDI 1000.13 and establishes an assigned HCDP coverage plan together with coverage dates.
For example, when an active duty sponsor and family members are added to DEERS:
• A sponsor is assigned TRICARE Prime for ADSMs, No PCM Selected in which he or she is the subscriber and the insured. The dates on the coverage represent the dates determined by the eligibility rules.
• A sponsor with family members is listed as the subscriber under the TRICARE Standard for Active Duty Family Members (ADFMs) assigned plan. The sponsor is not insured under this coverage plan.
• Eligible family members are assigned TRICARE Standard for ADFMs plan as insured with both DC and Civilian Health Care (CHC) coverage, prior to January 1, 2018. The coverage plan dates are determined by the eligibility rules. There are no enrollment

dates, since this option requires no enrollment.
• Beginning January 1, 2018, eligible family members are assigned DC Only (Space Available) MTF, however ADFMs CONUS will be auto-enrolled in Prime with no PCM, and if they reside outside a Prime Service Area (PSA), they will be enrolled TRICARE Select. ADFMs OCONUS will be enrolled in TRICARE Select.
1.2.5 Enrollment Prior to January 1, 2018
The assigned plans provide the foundation for enrollment into various coverage plans. Enrollment plans are mandatory for ADSMs and include:
• TRICARE Prime for ADSMs. This plan requires the assignment of a PCM.
• TRICARE Prime Remote (TPR) for ADSMs. This plan requires a PCM if one is available.
• TRICARE Overseas Prime for ADSMs. This plan requires a PCM to be assigned.
• TRICARE Remote Overseas Prime for ADSMs. This plan requires a PCM if one is available.
For other beneficiary categories, such as ADFMs and retirees and their family members, enrollment is optional. Beginning January 1, 2018 in order to have purchased care coverage, these beneficiaries must be in an enrolled Plan.
Enrollments are at the individual or family level, depending on the plan and the number of family members wishing to enroll. Beginning January 1, 2018 enrollments will be based on the individual, but enrollment fees will be determined by the number of family members in the enrolled Plan. Therefore, a family may have members enrolled in different Plans.
Up to December 31, 2017, DEERS creates a policy that encompasses all enrollments for a family and a HCDP. DEERS automatically switches enrollment policies from individual to family or family to individual when required. It is the contractor’s responsibility to correct the fees based on the policy notification of the plan change. DEERS will adjust fees for a policy to ‘$0’ any time an enrolled policy with fees is systematically cancelled. Some HCDP’s, such as TRICARE Plus, only offer enrollment on an individual basis. For these plans, DEERS does not limit the number of individual policies that a family may have.
The contractors are required to enter the following information into DOES in order to complete an enrollment. Required data elements vary by plan. For instance, TRICARE Prime for ADFMs requires the following data elements:
• Coverage plan• Enrollment begin date (if different than DOES default)• Address verification
• PCM assignment• PCM Network Provider Type Code (if not defaulted by DOES)• PCM Enrolling Division (if more than one is available for the coverage plan and

• Individual PCM selection
Enrollments may be backdated up to 18 months.
Enrollment policies for all enrollees on or before December 31, 2017 shall be on a FY basis, i.e., October 1 through September 30. To accomplish this, the contractor shall establish the policy and prorate the enrollment fees as described below. At the end of that FY, the contractor shall renew the policy for the next FY. FY 2017 enrollments will end on December 31, 2017, in order to implement the change from FY to CY in accordance with NDAA 2017, Section 701.
For enrollees that pay fees on an annual basis, the contractor shall collect the entire prorated fee covering the period through September 30 of the current FY. However, for FY 2017 the prorated fee will cover the period through December 31, 2017 to support the transition from FY to CY. A prorated fee must be paid for each month of the enrollment period.
For enrollees that pay fees on a quarterly basis, the contractor shall collect a prorated fee covering the period until the next FY quarter (e.g., January 1, April 1, July 1, October 1) and collect quarterly fees thereafter through September 30 of the current FY. However, for FY 2017 the prorated fee will cover the period through December 31, 2017 to support the transition from FY to CY. A prorated fee must be paid for each quarter of the enrollment period.
For enrollees that pay fees on a monthly basis (by EFT or monthly allotments), contractors must collect and post an amount equal to three months of fees at the time of enrollment with monthly EFT or allotments beginning on the first day of the fourth month following the enrollment anniversary date.
• If the first payment crosses into the next FY, the contractor shall send DEERS the three month payment amount, indicating the applicable paid-through date and a payment plan type of “Request to begin allotment”. DEERS will apply one or two months of the three month payment (whichever is applicable) to the enrollment ending in the current FY and the remaining one or two months of fees to the beginning of the new enrollment beginning on October 1 of the next FY.
Note: The proration will remain the same when enrollments are converted from a FY to a CY.
Note: If the first three month payment crosses into FY 2013, the contractor shall send DEERS the portion that applies to FY 2012, indicating the applicable paid-through date and a payment plan type of “Request to begin allotment”; and shall send a second transaction containing the dollar amount of payment that applies to FY 2013 to DEERS with a payment plan type of “Request to begin allotment” and DEERS will calculate the paid-through date and notify the contractor.
• Enrollments effective on and after October 1, 2012: The contractor will send the fee amount collected for the first three month payment and a payment type of “Request to begin allotment” to DEERS and DEERS will calculate the paid-through date and notify the contractor.

1.2.5.1 Prime Enrollment Fees Prior to January 1, 2018
1.2.5.1.1 Enrollment Year To FY Alignment
By statute, Prime enrollees are entitled to both an enrollment year and a FY for the purposes of enrollment fees and catastrophic cap amounts. Tracking two sets of amounts for each enrollee is cumbersome, confusing, expensive, and can lead to inaccurate totals as well as negatively affecting enrollment portability. To ease portability and resolve problems, enrollment anniversary dates for all enrollees are on a FY basis, i.e., October 1 through September 30. For new enrollments, the policy end date will be set to the end of the FY. Enrollment fees and catastrophic cap amounts are prorated accordingly.
1.2.5.1.2 Prorated Enrollment Fees
For new Prime enrollments that do not begin on October 1, DEERS will establish abbreviated (less than 12 months) policies ending September 30 and the contractor shall collect the enrollment fees necessary to align the policy with the FY. The monthly prorated enrollment fee is 1/12 of the respective annual enrollment fee (rounded down). DEERS will apply any fee overage from the abbreviated enrollment year to the next FY enrollment policy and shall set the paid period end dates in accordance with those amounts. At the end of the abbreviated enrollment (end of the current FY), the contractor shall renew the policy for the next FY with a begin date of October 1 and resume collecting the full enrollment fees.
1.2.5.1.3 Survivors of Active Duty Deceased Sponsors and Medically Retired Uniformed Services Members and their Dependents
Effective FY 2012, beneficiaries who are (1) survivors of active duty deceased sponsors, or (2) medically retired Uniformed Services members and their dependents, shall have their Prime enrollment fees frozen at the rate in effect when classified and enrolled in a fee paying Prime plan. (This does not include TRICARE Young Adult (TYA) plans). Beneficiaries in these two categories who were enrolled in FY 2011 will continue paying the FY 2011 rate. The beneficiaries who become eligible in either category and enroll during FY 2012, or in any future fiscal year, shall have their fee frozen at the rate in effect at the time of enrollment in Prime. The fee for these beneficiaries shall remain frozen as long as at least one family member remains enrolled in Prime. The fee for the dependent(s) of a medically retired Uniformed Services member shall not change if the dependent(s) is later re-classified a survivor.
1.2.5.1.4 Prorated Catastrophic Cap Amounts
TRICARE Prime enrollees who are other than Active Duty (AD) or ADFM, (e.g., Retirees and Retiree Family Members), are entitled to an enrollment year catastrophic cap. As with enrollment fees, catastrophic cap amounts must also be prorated in order to complete the enrollment year to FY alignment. In order to align the enrollment year to the FY, a one time prorated catastrophic cap credit will be applied to each new enrollment for each month that the beneficiary was not enrolled during the current FY. The monthly prorated catastrophic cap credit for non-AD and non-ADFMs will be 1/12 of the fiscal year catastrophic cap limit.

1.2.5.2 PCM Assignment Within The DOES Application
DEERS has a centralized PCM file containing both the PCMs for the DC facilities and all MCSC civilian network PCMs. The DOES application accesses the central PCM file to perform provider assignments. The DEERS PCM Repository will accept additions, terminations, and modifications of civilian network PCMs in real time to support enrollment activities. All PCM additions, terminations, or modifications shall be transmitted to DEERS no less than daily. To deactivate a PCM, contractors shall send DEERS a modification where the PCM’s effective date is equal to the PCM’s end date, and DEERS will deactivate the PCM from the central file. DEERS will not allow subsequent assignments to a deactivated PCM. Contractors are responsible for the quality of the PCM data transmitted to DEERS. Contractors will not submit inaccurate data.
1.2.5.2.1 DC PCM Assignment
The contractor shall perform DC PCM assignment at the time of enrollment in the DOES application. The contractor shall use the PCM preference indicated in the enrollment request in addition to guidance contained in any MOU agreement or other government-provided direction, if available. For ADSMs, if the enrollment request has a Unit Identification Code (UIC) specified and the MTF has established a default provider for the UIC, the contractor should use the default. If the enrollment request contains a specialty or gender preference, the contractor shall use the preference filters available in DOES to select a PCM. In the case where a beneficiary has not indicated a preference and there is not precise direction in a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) or other government direction, the contractor shall use the search criteria in DOES to select a PCM. DOES and BWE will only display PCMs with available capacity in the selected Defense Medical Information System (DMIS)-ID. The contractor is responsible for determining the appropriate DMIS-ID based on MOUs, access standards, and any specific guidance from the government. If there is no capacity at a DC facility, the contractor shall contact the MTF to confirm that enrollment is closed; MTFs must respond to such requests within two business days or the contractor may enroll the beneficiary to their civilian network.
1.2.5.2.2 Civilian PCM Assignment
The contractor shall perform Civilian PCM assignment at the time of enrollment in the DOES application. The contractor shall use the PCM preference indicated in the enrollment request. If the enrollment request contains a specialty or gender preference, the contractor shall use the preference filters available in DOES to select a PCM.
1.2.6 Disenrollment
Once actively enrolled in a coverage plan, an individual or family may voluntarily disenroll or be involuntarily disenrolled. Voluntary disenrollment is self-elected. Involuntary disenrollment occurs from failure to pay enrollment fees or from loss of eligibility. Upon disenrollment, DEERS will notify the beneficiary of the change in or loss of coverage. If disenrollment occurs at other than the renewal date, the beneficiary incurs a 12 month lockout. Contractors must set the lockout manually, and may cancel the lock and disenrollment in accordance with established administrative procedures.

1.2.6.1 Disenrollment - Loss Of Eligibility
A loss of eligibility refers to any loss or change in eligibility for DoD health care benefits in accordance with the current DoDI 1000.13 or additional legislation authorizing benefits or for a specific health coverage plan. At the time of enrollment, DEERS provides the end of eligibility date to the contractors via the notification. If that end date does not change, DEERS will provide no additional notifications. If the end date changes, DEERS will provide another notification with the new end date. DEERS also cancels any future actions for that beneficiary, including future enrollments, PCM changes, etc. If a contractor has applied fees to a policy that DEERS is cancelling, DEERS will adjust the fees to ‘$0’.
1.2.6.2 Retroactive Eligibility/Enrollment Maintenance
There may be instances where DEERS receives notice of a loss of eligibility from the Uniformed Services, only to later be informed of the immediate reinstatement. Upon the receipt of the initial loss of eligibility, DEERS terminates the enrollment. Upon receipt of the notice of reinstatement, DEERS reinstates the eligibility and enrollment as long as there are no gaps in eligibility. DEERS will reinstate eligibility and enrollments only if DEERS receives new personnel information reinstating eligibility within 90 days of the initial loss of eligibility and only if the plan does not require fee payment.
1.2.6.3 Disenrollment - Voluntary
An enrollee may choose to terminate his or her current enrollment prior to the end date, or choose not to re-enroll into the current coverage plan. This transaction is performed in DOES. DEERS then terminates the enrolled coverage plan for the beneficiary and reverts to the DEERS assigned coverage, starting on the day after the termination of the enrollment. If additional systems need notification of the disenrollment, DEERS sends disenrollment notifications as necessary, notifying them of the termination of coverage benefits.
1.2.6.4 Disenrollment - Involuntary
The enrollee may fail to pay enrollment fees. In this case, the enrolling organization performs a disenrollment with a reason code of “failure to pay fees”. Individuals who are waived from paying enrollment fees are not disenrolled because of this exemption from enrollment fee payments. Disenrollment for failure to pay fees is either performed in DOES or through a batch ‘disenrollment for failure to pay fees’ system to system interaction.
Prior to processing a disenrollment with a reason of “non-payment of fees”, the contractor must reconcile their fee payment system against the fee totals in DEERS. Once the contractor confirms that payment amounts match, the disenrollment may be entered in DOES or through the failure to pay fees interface.
When there is a disenrollment, the appropriate systems are notified, as necessary. The following table lists the functions and applications that allow each action:

1.2.7 Modification Of Enrollment
Whenever there is a modification to an enrollment, the appropriate systems are notified, as necessary.
1.2.7.1 PCM Change And Cancellation
PCM reassignments occur when the enrollee changes regions or desires to change PCM’s within the region or MTF. An enrollee changes PCMs by completing a PCM change request form and submitting the change request to the contractor, which makes the change via DOES. Only the current enrolling organization may change the PCM selection. A PCM change can be made only on the latest PCM segment. DEERS then terminates the previous PCM with an end date, which will be the day before the begin date for the new PCM. Upon change of PCM, DEERS will notify the enrollee of the new PCM information, as well as sending notifications to the appropriate MTFs and contractors.

DOES will allow PCM’s with available capacities to be assigned as new PCM’s. If a contractor is canceling a PCM assignment, DOES will permit reinstatement of a PCM whose capacity has been reached.
1.2.7.2 PCM Panel Reassignment
PCM Panel Reassignment Application (PCMRA) allows the user to select all or part of a PCM’s panel for reassignment to other PCMs. PCM reassignments are processed periodically by DEERS. DEERS will decrement and increment PCM capacities when processing panel reassignments, but will not prevent the reassignment if the selected gaining PCM does not have available capacity. As part of the moves, DEERS sends notifications to the appropriate systems. Note that PCM change notices may be suppressed during a panel reassignment, but the suppression must apply to the entire transaction.
1.2.7.2.1 DC Care PCM Panel Reassignment
All PCM changes for DC PCMs must be performed by the MCSC. The MTF will set up the panel reassignments using PCMRA. The contractor shall complete the required moves using PCMRA within three business days of submission.
Panel changes that cross Composite Health Care System (CHCS) platforms must be coordinated not only with the contractor but with the designated Defense Health Agency (DHA) Representative and DEERS.
Emergency moves may be coordinated by the MTF with the MCSC by the best available means, including phone, fax, or secure e-mail.
1.2.7.2.2 Civilian Panel Reassignment
DMDC provides a web application to allow contractors to perform mass reassignments of a civilian PCM’s enrollees. There is an option to suppress the PCM change notices for civilian PCM panel reassignments.

1.2.7.3 Transfer Of Enrollment And Transfer Cancellation
A transfer of enrollment moves the enrollment from one contract to another and thus moves the responsibility for the administration of the enrollment to the gaining contractor. DEERS supports transfers within plans (e.g., TRICARE Prime). A transfer may include a change to the Health Care Coverage (HCC) plan in some cases, such as TRICARE Prime for ADSMs to TPR for ADSMs. DEERS will enforce when such transfers are allowed.

If an enrollment transfer is performed in error, a transfer cancellation may be performed. This action results in reinstatement of the enrollment with the previous enrolling organization and the previous PCM.
1.2.7.4 Enrollment Period Change
This event is used to update an enrollee’s begin or end date. Modifications can only be performed by the enrolling organization responsible for managing the enrollment. A contractor may change the enrollment end date only after performing a disenrollment. If the enrollment end date is the same as the loss of eligibility date, the user is not allowed to change the end date to a later date. DEERS changes the date range for the applicable PCM selection and policy to correspond with the new end dates if necessary.
If a person’s eligibility in DEERS changes and affects an enrollment because the eligibility period is either greater or less than originally stated, DEERS updates the enrollment period and pushes the PCM and policy changes to the appropriate systems managing the enrollment.
1.2.7.5 Enrollment End Reason Change
Disenrollments can be done for various reasons and are mostly done by enrolling organizations. If a disenrollment is performed by an enrolling organization using an incorrect end reason code, the end reason code can be updated. Enrolling organizations enter an end date that

1.2.7.6 Enrollment/Disenrollment Cancellation
1.2.7.6.1 Enrollment cancellations can only be performed by the enrolling organization. An enrollment cancellation completely removes the enrollment from DEERS and it will not be shown on subsequent inquiries. Assuming that the beneficiary is still eligible, the prior enrollment and PCM will be reinstated if there was a contiguous change of plan (family to individual or Prime to TPR).
1.2.7.6.2 Disenrollment cancellations can only be performed by the enrolling organization. A disenrollment cancellation removes the disenrollment event and reinstates the enrollment and PCM assignment as if the disenrollment never occurred.
1.2.8 Enrollment Fees, Premiums, And Enrollment Fee Waivers
DEERS records and displays enrollment fee payment information and returns accumulated enrollment fee payment information by policy for the enrollment year in the Fee/CCD Web Research application.
DEERS provides a number of applications to support enrollment-fee-related transactions:
• Enrollment Fee Payment (Fee/CCD Web Research application and Fee Interface)• Update an enrollee’s free-rider code (DOES)• Terminate Policy For Failure To Pay Fees (DOES and Fee Interface)• Premium Billing Service (for policies in effect on or after October 1, 2012)
DEERS will automatically set enrollment fee waivers for a policy based on the following events:
• One or more enrollees have Medicare Parts A and B• The family has met their catastrophic cap• Mid-month retiree enrollment
Fee waivers are stored at the family level. DEERS will provide the reason for fee waiver and the begin and end dates, a status code, and status date associated to that waiver on the PNT. The status code indicates whether the waiver is active or inactive. Inactive waivers reflect waiver information that is no longer applicable because there has been a change to the fee waiver entitlement. Inactive waivers do not have an effect on the determination of fees due for the policy and are for audit purposes only. A fee waiver that indicates that a family has met their fiscal year catastrophic cap limit will be considered inactive if the fee waiver end date is not September 30th of the fiscal year for which the waiver exists. All waiver data is displayed in the Fee/CCD Web Research application and DOES (limited to only current fee waivers and those effective within the past two years).

1.2.8.1.1.1 Enrollment fees may be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. The beneficiary specifies this payment option during enrollment and the contractor shall enter the fee information in the Enrollment Fee Payment interface or the Fee/CCD Web Research application as part of the enrollment transaction. Contractors shall update DEERS with all subsequent enrollment fee payments and shall update a fee paid-through date for each. They shall transmit this information, including any credits to DEERS within one business day. With the exception of claims recoupments and Non-Sufficient Fund (NSF) fees, all monetary receipts from beneficiaries must be treated as fee payments and reported to DEERS either as fee payments or credits, unless they are refunded to the beneficiary. There is no option to retain such records in the contractor’s system. The contractor’s system shall be able to process fee refunds as necessary.
1.2.8.1.1.2 DEERS will automatically apply any fee payments and adjustments posted through DOES or the Enrollment Fee Payment interface to the beneficiary’s catastrophic cap (if applicable). For individual policies, the beneficiary will be credited with the fee amount; for family policies, the fee will be posted under the sponsor’s family contribution towards the catastrophic cap. If the catastrophic cap is locked at the time the fee payment is sent, DEERS will reject the fee payment. The contractor shall resend the fee amount to DEERS daily until it is accepted. If the record remains locked longer than 48 hours, the contractor should contact the claims processor that placed the lock to determine the reason for the lock and when it will be released.
1.2.8.1.1.3 The enrollment fee payment interface perform edits against the submitted fee data. The contractor shall research and correct any data discrepancies identified by DEERS (both warnings and errors) within three business days.
1.2.8.1.1.4 DEERS records both the enrollment fee payment date and the enrollment fee paid-through date. The enrollment fee payment date reflects the date the fee was received by the contractor. The enrollment fee paid-through date reflects the last date for which coverage is paid. The purpose of tracking the paid-through date is to ensure portability. On an enrollment transfer, DEERS includes the last fee information from the enrollee’s policy on the notification to the new contractor.
1.2.8.1.1.5 DEERS does not prorate fees, determine the amount of the next enrollment fee payment, determine the date of the next enrollment fee payment, send enrollment fee payment due notifications, or identify which entity is responsible for enrollment fee payments. These actions are the responsibility of the enrolling organization. Additionally, the enrolling organization must be able to accommodate policies that are less than 12 months in length and prorate enrollment fees appropriately.
1.2.8.1.1.6 DEERS will automatically apply any fee payments posted through the Enrollment Fee Payment interface to the catastrophic cap.
1.2.8.1.1.7 Credits extending into FY 2013, have to be removed prior to initialization of the new premium fee model and then later sent to DEERS if those funds apply to an FY 2013 payment. For

payments effective October 1, 2012 and later, DEERS will not post credits amounts to the catastrophic cap.
1.2.8.1.2 Fee Payments Interface (For Enrollment Periods Prior to October 1, 2012 and up Through December 31, 2017)
The contractor will send enrollment fee payment information to DEERS through a system-to-system interface. This interface includes new payments, payment adjustments, and updates to paid-through dates. Contractors must correct and resubmit enrollment fee payments rejected by DEERS or research, correct and resubmit fee payments for which DEERS has provided a warning within three business days of the error.
1.2.8.1.3 Premium Payment Programs: TRS, TRR, and TYA (Payments For Enrollment Periods Prior to October 1, 2012 and up Through December 31, 2017)
For the TRS, TRR, and TYA programs, DEERS will accept premium payment paid-through dates.
1.2.8.1.3.1 Contractors are required to submit paid-through dates to DEERS upon receipt of premium payments. Contractors will refund all overpayments of premiums to the member. In the event the member moves from one region to another region, billings for premiums shall be initiated on the next month with coverage effective the first day following the previous paid-through date. Transfers shall be made per the TRICARE Operations Manual (TOM), Chapter 22, Sections 1 and 2 and Chapter 25, Section 1.
1.2.8.1.3.2 As with any other enrollment fee or premium payment, overpayments are considered part of the fee or premium amount that must be reported to DEERS.
Note: TRS/TRR/TYA premium payments are not applicable to the FY catastrophic cap.
1.2.8.2 Enrollment Fee and Premium Payment Processing (For Enrollment Periods On or After October 1, 2012)
1.2.8.2.1 Prime Enrollment Fee Payment and Refunds (For Enrollment Periods On or After October 1, 2012)
1.2.8.2.1.1 Enrollment fees may be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. The beneficiary specifies this payment option during enrollment and the contractor shall enter the dollar amount received from the beneficiary or the dollar amount refunded to a beneficiary or forfeited by a beneficiary in the Premium/Fee Interface or the Fee/CCD Web Research application. DEERS will calculate the policy paid period end date and return the information to the enrolling contractor. Contractors shall send the dollar amount of all subsequent enrollment fee transactions, including refunds of enrollment fees and forfeited fee amounts, to DEERS within one business day. With the exception of claims recoupments and NSF fees, all monetary receipts from beneficiaries or refund/forfeitures of enrollment fees shall be treated as enrollment fee transactions and shall be reported to DEERS. The contractor’s system shall be able to process fee refunds as necessary.
1.2.8.2.1.2 The contractor shall send enrollment fee transactions to DEERS through a system- to-system interface. This interface includes new payments and payment adjustments, including
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
22
refunds and forfeitures. DEERS will calculate the new paid period end date based on the amount submitted by the contractor. The contractor shall correct and resubmit enrollment fee transactions rejected by DEERS or research, correct and resubmit transactions for which DEERS has provided a warning within three business days of the error.
1.2.8.2.1.3 If applicable, DEERS will automatically apply fee transactions to the beneficiary’s catastrophic cap. For individual policies, the beneficiary will be credited with the fee amount; for family policies, the fee will be posted under the sponsor’s family contribution towards the catastrophic cap. If the catastrophic cap is locked at the time the fee payment is sent, DEERS will reject the fee payment. The contractor shall resend the fee amount to DEERS daily until it is accepted. If the record remains locked longer than 48 hours, the contractor shall contact the claims processor that placed the lock to determine the reason for the lock and when it will be released.
1.2.8.2.1.4 The Premium/Fee Interface performs edits against the submitted fee data. The contractor shall research and correct any data discrepancies identified by DEERS (both warnings and errors) within three business days.
1.2.8.2.1.5 DEERS calculates paid period end dates based on the premium/fee amounts collected, refunded, or forfeited and entered into DEERS by the contractor. It does not determine the date of the next premium/fee payment, send premium/fee payment due notifications, or identify which entity is responsible for premium/fee payments. These actions are the responsibility of the contractor. Additionally, the contractor shall be able to accommodate policies that are less than 12 months in length, and collect only the enrollment fees due.
1.2.8.2.1.6 DEERS records both the enrollment fee transaction date and the enrollment fee paid, refunded, or forfeited amount. The enrollment fee transaction date reflects the date the fee was received or refunded by the contractor, or the date the fees were forfeited by the beneficiary. The enrollment fee paid, refunded, or forfeited amount will be used by DEERS to calculate the paid period end date, and any credits associated to the policy. DEERS includes the last fee information from the enrollee’s policy on notifications to the contractors. DEERS calculates and reports credits to all policies.
1.2.8.2.1.7 The contractor shall remove all existing credits on DEERS prior to the initialization of the new premium model. Credits not refunded to the beneficiary shall be re-posted as a FY 2012 credit or a FY 2013 payment after initialization. Any credits remaining on or after October 1, 2012, shall be removed from FY 2012 and either refunded to the beneficiary or posted as a payment for FY 2013. Effective October 1, 2012 and later, DEERS will not post credit amounts to the catastrophic cap.
1.2.8.2.2 Premium Payment and Refunds: TRS, TRR, and TYA Programs (For Enrollment Periods On or After October 1, 2012 and up Through December 31, 2017)
1.2.8.2.2.1 For the TRS, TRR, and TYA programs, the contractor will enter into DEERS the premium amount collected and the premiums refunded for the policy and DEERS will calculate and return to the contractor the paid period end date.
1.2.8.2.2.2 Contractors are required to submit all premium amounts collected or premiums refunded to the beneficiary to DEERS upon receipt. Contractors will refund all overpayments of premiums to the member at termination of coverage. In the event the member moves from one

region to another region, billings for premiums shall be initiated the next month with coverage effective the first day following the previous paid period end date. Enrollment transfers shall be made per the TRICARE Operations Manual (TOM), Chapter 22, Sections 1 and 2 and Chapter 25, Section 1.
1.2.8.2.2.3 As with any other enrollment fee or premium payment, overpayments not refunded to the beneficiary are considered part of the fee or premium amount that must be reported to DEERS.
Note: TRS/TRR/TYA premium payments are not applied to the FY catastrophic cap.
1.2.8.3 Enrollment Fee Waivers
1.2.8.3.1 DEERS will automatically maintain fee waiver entitlement data for families. Multiple fee waiver entitlements may exist at the same time (i.e., the family has a waiver for Medicare at the same time that they have met the catastrophic cap for part of a fiscal year). DEERS will supply all fee waiver entitlements and calculate fees due based on all waiver entitlement data.
1.2.8.3.2 When new enrollments are processed, certain fee waiver entitlements will be immediately available on the enrollment PNT. Under certain circumstances (i.e., Medicare enrollments), the enrollment data will be processed and a PNT is sent prior to the calculation of the fee waiver entitlements. In such cases, a subsequent PNT will be sent immediately after the fee waiver entitlement recalculation that will include the updated waiver data. DEERS will calculate fees due.
1.2.8.3.3 When primary data changes in DEERS that affect fee waivers, the corresponding entitlement periods will be recalculated. If a fee waiver entitlement affects the current or future fiscal years for an active policy, DEERS will send an unsolicited notification to the most recent contractor.
1.2.8.3.4 Additionally, if primary data in DEERS changes that makes an existing entitlement invalid (i.e., the family going back under the catastrophic cap), the existing entitlement will be marked inactive and an unsolicited PNT will be sent to the contractor if it affects an active policy’s current or future fiscal years. DEERS will calculate or recalculate any fees due.
1.3 Address, Telephone Number, and E-Mail Address Updates
1.3.1 Addresses
DEERS receives address information from a number of source systems. Although most systems only update the residence address, DEERS actually maintains multiple addresses for each person. The contractor shall update the residential and mailing addresses in DEERS, whenever possible. These addresses shall not reflect unit, MTF, or MCSC addresses unless provided directly by the beneficiary. The mailing address captured on DEERS is primarily used to mail the enrollment card and other correspondence. The residential address is used to determine enrollment jurisdiction at the Zip Code level. DEERS uses a commercial product to validate address information received online and from batch sources.
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
24
1.3.2 Telephone Numbers
DEERS has several types of telephone numbers for a person (e.g., home, work, and cellular). Contractors shall make reasonable efforts to add or update telephone numbers.
1.3.3 E-mail Addresses
DEERS can store an e-mail address for each person. Contractors shall make reasonable efforts to add or update this e-mail address.
1.4 Notifications
Notifications are sent to contractor for various reasons and reflect the most current enrollment information for a beneficiary. The contractor must accept, apply, and store the data contained in the notification as sent from DEERS. Notifications may be sent due to new enrollments or updates to existing enrollments. If the contractor does not have the information contained in the notification, the contractor shall add it to their system. If the contractor already has enrollment information for the beneficiary, the contractor shall apply all information contained in the notification to their system. The contractor shall use the DEERS ID to match the notification to the correct beneficiary in their system. There are also circumstances where a contractor may receive a notification that does not appear to be updating the information that the contractor already has for the enrollee. Such notifications shall not be treated as errors by the contractor system and must be applied. The contractor is expected to acknowledge all notifications sent by DEERS. If DEERS does not receive an acknowledgement, the notification will continue to be sent until acknowledgement is received. The following information details examples of events that trigger DEERS to send notifications to a contractor.
1.4.1 Notifications Resulting From Enrollment Actions Prior to January 1, 2018
DEERS sends notifications to the contractor detailing any enrollment update performed in the DOES or BWE application. This includes address updates made for enrollees. Additionally, DOES supports a feature for the contractor to request a notification to be sent without updating any address or enrollment information. The purpose of this request is to re-sync the contractor systems with the latest DEERS enrollment data.
Notifications sent as a result of enrollments, transfers, or PCM changes in BWE will indicate a pending status. The contractor shall apply all pending PNTs received, as well as reviewing and either confirming, rejecting or modifying the enrollment as needed. A second notification is sent when the action is confirmed in DOES. If the DOES operator modified the enrollment or PCM data, the second notification will contain the corrected data in a non-pending status.
During transfers in BWE, one non-pending disenrollment notification is sent to the losing contractor. There is no subsequent notification sent to the losing contractor when the enrollment information is confirmed in DOES. If the transfer is cancelled before the gaining contractor approves it, the losing contractor will receive a cancellation of the disenrollment.

DEERS Functions
25
1.4.2 Unsolicited Notifications Prior to January 1, 2018
Unsolicited notifications result from updates to a sponsor or family member’s information made by an entity other than the enrolling contractor. Unsolicited notifications may result from various types of updates made in DEERS:
• Change to eligibility. As updates are made in DEERS that affect a beneficiary’s entitlements to TRICARE benefits, DEERS modifies policy data based on those changes and sends notifications to the contractor and to CHCS, if appropriate. One example of this type of notification is notification of loss of eligibility.
• Extended Eligibility. For example, in the case of a 21-year old child that shows proof of being a full-time student, eligibility may be extended until the 23rd birthday.
• SSN, name, and date of birth changes. Updates to an enrolled sponsor or beneficiary’s SSN, name, or date of birth are communicated via unsolicited notification to the contractor.
• Address changes. The notification also includes information as to which type of entity made the update. Address changes performed by CHCS are also sent to the contractor.
• Data corrections made by the DMDC Support Office (DSO) or the DOES Help Desk. If a contractor requests the DSO to make a data correction for a current or future enrollment that the contractor cannot make themselves, notification detailing the update is sent to the contractor, and to CHCS, if appropriate.
• Automatic approvals of BWE actions. DEERS will send unsolicited notifications for all BWE actions approved without contractor action in DOES.
• Fee waiver updates. Changes to an enrolled sponsor or beneficiary’s fee waiver status will be sent via unsolicited notifications to the contractor.
• Changes to premium information as a result of a premium or fee recalculation by DEERS.
1.5 Patient ID Merge
Occasionally, incomplete or inaccurate person data is provided to DEERS and a single person may be temporarily assigned two patient IDs. When DEERS identifies this condition, DEERS makes this information available online for all contractors. The contractor is responsible for retrieving and applying this information on a weekly basis. The merge brings the data gathered under the two IDs under only one of the IDs and discards the other. Although DEERS retains both IDs for an indefinite period, from that point on only the one remaining ID shall be used by the contractor for that person and for subsequent interaction with DEERS and other MHS systems. If there are enrollments under both records being merged that overlap, the enrolling organizations are responsible for correcting the enrollments. The contractor shall also update the catastrophic cap that has been posted for these records if necessary. DEERS merges OHI by assigning the last updates of OHI active policies (not cancelled or systematically terminated) to the remaining Patient ID.

1.6 Enrollment Cards And Notice Production
1.6.1 The contractor is responsible for processing all mail returned for bad addresses and shall research the address, correct it on DEERS, and re-mail the correspondence to the beneficiary.
1.6.2 DEERS is responsible for producing the TRICARE universal beneficiary card for both Continental United States (CONUS) and Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS). The cards are produced for beneficiaries enrolled in TRICARE Prime TRS, TRR, and TYA programs. Enrollment cards are not produced for enrollments to USFHPs.
• DEERS sends a notification directly to the enrollee at the residential mailing address specified in the enrollment request or via e-mail advising them how to obtain a copy of their Universal TRICARE Beneficiary Card. New enrollment cards are automatically generated upon a new enrollment or an enrollment transfer to a new region, unless the enrollment operator specifies in DOES not to generate an enrollment card. A contractor may request a replacement enrollment card for an enrollee at any time. DEERS sends enrollment card request information in a notification to the contractor indicating the last date an enrollment card was generated for the enrollee.
• In addition to the enrollment card, DEERS sends a notice to the beneficiary indicating their PCM selection, if applicable. This notice is sent even if no card is generated. PCM change notices may be suppressed through both DOES and PCM Panel Reassignment (PCMRS).
• DEERS also sends a notice to a beneficiary upon disenrollment. If the disenrollment is due to loss of eligibility for all MHS medical benefits, DEERS will send a Termination Notice (TN) instead of the disenrollment letter. DEERS will send appropriate notices when the loss of eligibility is due to death of the beneficiary. The contractor shall not send additional notices that duplicate those already provided by DEERS.
1.7 Enrollments On Or After January 1, 2018
1.7.1 Effective January 1, 2018, in accordance with the NDAA 2017, for FY 17, Section 701, all beneficiaries other than ADSMs must elect purchased care coverage if they want other than DC coverage only. DC will be provided only on a space available basis.
• A one-time grace period will be in effect for the enrollment period beginning January 1, 2018 and ending December 31, 2018. Beneficiaries enrolled in Prime as of December 31, 2017, will be automatically continued as a TRICARE Prime enrollee with the option to decline at the beneficiary’s request. Beneficiaries under TRICARE Standard will be enrolled into the TRICARE Select Program with the option to decline at any time during the 2018 enrollment period.
1.7.2 Eligibility For Enrollment
The DoD provides assigned HCDPs and plans when a person joins the DoD. DEERS determines coverage plans for which a beneficiary is eligible to enroll by using the DoD-assigned coverage in conjunction with additional eligibility information. The Eligibility for Enrollment Inquiry in DOES is used to view a person’s or family’s eligibility to enroll.
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
27
Note: The Eligibility For Enrollment Inquiry in DOES should not be used for other eligibility determinations. For example, USFHP providers should use GIQD and not DOES to determine if a person is eligible for a hospital admission.
1.7.2.1 DEERS provides coverage plan information identifying the period of eligibility and/or enrollment for the coverage plan. A beneficiary can only be enrolled into the coverage plans that have an “eligible for” status. When a sponsor and family member are first added into DEERS, DEERS determines basic eligibility for health care benefits in accordance with DoDI 1000.13 and establishes an assigned HCDP coverage plan together with coverage dates.
1.7.2.2 For example, when an active duty sponsor and family members are added to DEERS:
• Eligible family members are assigned DC Only, however ADFMs CONUS will be auto enrolled TRICARE in Prime with no PCM if they reside within a PSA and meet certain other criteria. If they reside outside a PSA, they will be enrolled in TRICARE Select. ADFMs OCONUS will be enrolled in TRICARE Select.
• NATO members and family members will not be auto enrolled.
• Eligible retirees and retiree family members are assigned DC Only until they elect enrollment in a covered plan. Retirees and retiree family members will not be auto enrolled in any enrolled plan.
1.7.3 The assigned plans provide the foundation for enrollment into various coverage plans. Enrollment plans are mandatory for ADSMs and include:
• TRICARE Prime for ADSMs. This plan requires the assignment of a PCM.• TRICARE Prime Remote (TPR) for ADSMs. This plan requires a PCM if one is available.• TRICARE Overseas Prime for ADSMs. This plan requires a PCM to be assigned.
1.7.3.1 For other beneficiary categories, such as ADFMs and retirees and their family members, enrollment is optional. Beginning January 1, 2018 in order to have purchased care coverage, beneficiaries must be in an enrolled plan.
1.7.3.2 Beginning January 1, 2018 enrollments will be based on the individual, but enrollment fees will be determined by the number of family members in the enrolled plan. Therefore, a family may have members enrolled in different Plans.
1.7.3.3 DEERS creates a policy(ies) that encompasses all enrollments for a family and a HCDP. For these plans, DEERS does not limit the number of individual policies that a family may have.
1.7.3.4 The contractors are required to enter the following information into DOES in order to complete an enrollment. Required data elements vary by plan. For instance, TRICARE Prime for ADFMs requires the following data elements:
• Coverage plan
• Enrollment begin date (if different than DOES default)
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
28
• Address verification
• PCM assignment
• PCM Network Provider Type Code (if not defaulted by DOES)
• PCM Division (if more than one is available for the coverage plan and PCM Network Provider Type Code)
• Individual PCM selection
1.7.3.5 Enrollments may be backdated up to 18 months.
Note: If a policy is backdated prior to January 1, 2018, prior enrollment policies apply.
1.7.3.6 Enrollment policies beginning January 1, 2018 for all enrollees shall be on a CY basis. Policies will be automatically continued unless there is loss of eligibility or the beneficiary effects a change during the annual open season or following a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) (see the TOM, Chapter 6).
1.7.3.7 Fees can be paid on an annual or quarterly or monthly basis in accordance with the TOM, Chapter 6.
1.8 Enrollment Fees On Or After January 1, 2018
1.8.1 Prorated Enrollment Fees
Enrollment fees shall be paid:
For new enrollments that do not begin on the first day of the month, the contractor shall collect prorated enrollment fees to cover the remaining days of coverage for the month and collect full months thereafter. The monthly prorated enrollment fee is 1/12 of the respective annual enrollment fee (rounded down). The daily prorated enrollment fee is 1/30 of the monthly amount regardless of the number of days remaining in the month for each day they are enrolled. For an annual fee payer the enrollee will pay a prorated fee for the effective date until the end of the CY. The enrollee will not pay more than the amount of the annual fees to the end of the CY (see TOM, Chapter 6).
1.8.2 Survivors of Active Duty Deceased Sponsors and Medically Retired Uniformed Service Members and Their Dependents
1.8.2.1 Beneficiaries whose Sponsor has an initial service date on or after January 1, 2018:
There are no TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Select enrollment fee freezes or waivers for these beneficiaries.
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
29
1.8.2.2 Beneficiaries whose Sponsor has an initial service date before January 1, 2018:
1.8.2.2.1 Effective Fiscal Year (FY) 2012, these beneficiaries shall have their TRICARE Prime enrollment fees frozen at the rate in effect when classified and enrolled in a fee paying Prime plan. (This does not include TRICARE Young Adult (TYA) plans). Beneficiaries in these two categories who were enrolled in FY 2011 will continue paying the FY 2011 rate. The beneficiaries who become eligible in either category and enroll during FY 2012, or in any future fiscal year, shall have their fee frozen at the rate in effect at the time of enrollment in Prime. The fee for these beneficiaries shall remain frozen as long as at least one family member remains enrolled in Prime. The fee for the dependent(s) of a medically retired Uniformed Services member shall not change if the dependent(s) is later re-classified a survivor.
1.8.2.2.2 There are no TRICARE Select enrollment fee freezes or waivers for these beneficiaries.
1.8.3 Enrollment Fee Waivers
Beneficiaries under age 65, that have Medicare Part A and B, that are enrolled in Prime will continue to have a Prime enrollment fee waiver. If the family has more than two beneficiaries with Medicare Part A and B enrolled in Prime, the entire Prime fee is waived. There are no fee waivers for TRICARE Select.
1.9 PCM Assignment Within The DOES Application On Or After January 1, 2018
DEERS has a centralized PCM file containing both the PCMs for the DC facilities and all MCSC civilian network PCMs. The DOES application accesses the central PCM file to perform provider assignments. The DEERS PCM Repository will accept additions, terminations, and modifications of civilian network PCMs in real time to support enrollment activities. All PCM additions, terminations, or modifications shall be transmitted to DEERS no less than daily. To deactivate a PCM, contractors shall send DEERS a modification where the PCM’s effective date is equal to the PCM’s end date, and DEERS will deactivate the PCM from the central file. DEERS will not allow subsequent assignments to a deactivated PCM. Contractors are responsible for the quality of the PCM data transmitted to DEERS. Contractors will not submit inaccurate data.
1.9.1 DC PCM Assignment
The contractor shall perform DC PCM assignment at the time of enrollment in the DOES application. The contractor shall use the PCM preference indicated in the enrollment request in addition to guidance contained in any MOU agreement or other government-provided direction, if available. For ADSMs, if the enrollment request has a Unit Identification Code (UIC) specified and the MTF has established a default provider for the UIC, the contractor should use the default. If the enrollment request contains a specialty or gender preference, the contractor shall use the preference filters available in DOES to select a PCM. In the case where a beneficiary has not indicated a preference and there is not precise direction in a MOU or other government direction, the contractor shall use the search criteria in DOES to select a PCM. DOES and BWE will only display PCMs with available capacity in the selected Defense Medical Information System (DMIS)-ID. The contractor is responsible for determining the appropriate DMIS-ID based on MOUs, access standards, and any specific guidance from the government. If there is no capacity at a DC facility, the contractor shall contact the MTF to confirm that enrollment is closed; MTFs must respond to such requests within two business days or the contractor may enroll the beneficiary to their civilian

network.
1.9.2 Civilian PCM Assignment
The contractor shall perform Civilian PCM assignment at the time of enrollment in the DOES application. The contractor shall use the PCM preference indicated in the enrollment request. If the enrollment request contains a specialty or gender preference, the contractor shall use the preference filters available in DOES to select a PCM.
1.10 Disenrollment On Or After January 1, 2018
Once actively enrolled in a coverage plan, an individual or family may voluntarily disenroll or be involuntarily disenrolled. Voluntary disenrollment is self-elected. Involuntary disenrollment occurs from failure to pay enrollment fees or from loss of eligibility. Upon disenrollment, DEERS will notify the beneficiary of the change in or loss of coverage. Starting January 1, 2018, beneficiaries can disenroll at any time for their enrolled plan and will be DC only (space available) at the MTF. Re-enrollment changes are only available during open season or when a QLE occurs.
1.10.1 Disenrollment - Loss of Eligibility
A loss of eligibility refers to any loss or change in eligibility for DoD health care benefits in accordance with the current DoDI 1000.13 or additional legislation authorizing benefits or for a specific health coverage plan. At the time of enrollment, DEERS provides the end of eligibility date to the contractors via the notification. If that end date does not change, DEERS will provide no additional notifications. If the end date changes, DEERS will provide another notification with the new end date. DEERS also cancels any future actions for that beneficiary, including future enrollments, PCM changes, etc. If a contractor has applied fees to a policy that DEERS is canceling, DEERS will adjust the fees to ‘$0’.
1.10.2 Retroactive Eligibility/Enrollment Maintenance
There may be instances where DEERS receives notice of a loss of eligibility from the Uniformed Services, only to later be informed of the immediate reinstatement. Upon the receipt of the initial loss of eligibility, DEERS terminates the enrollment. Upon receipt of the notice of reinstatement, DEERS reinstates the eligibility and enrollment as long as there are no gaps in eligibility. DEERS will reinstate eligibility and enrollments only if DEERS receives new personnel information reinstating eligibility within 90 days of the initial loss of eligibility. Beneficiaries must make fee payments to cover period of eligibility to include retroactive coverage, as required.
1.10.3 Disenrollment - Voluntary
An enrollee may choose to terminate his or her current enrollment prior to the end date, or choose not to re-enroll into the current coverage plan. This transaction is performed in DOES. DEERS then terminates the enrolled coverage plan for the beneficiary and reverts to the DEERS assigned coverage, starting on the day after the termination of the enrollment. If additional systems need notification of the disenrollment, DEERS sends disenrollment notifications as necessary, notifying them of the termination of coverage benefits.
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
31
1.10.4 Disenrollment - Involuntary
The enrollee may fail to pay enrollment fees. In this case, the enrolling organization performs a disenrollment with a reason code of “failure to pay fees”. Individuals who are waived from paying enrollment fees are not disenrolled because of this exemption from enrollment fee payments. Disenrollment for failure to pay fees is either performed in DOES or through a batch ‘disenrollment for failure to pay fees’ system to system interaction.
Prior to processing a disenrollment with a reason of “non-payment of fees”, the contractor must reconcile their fee payment system against the fee totals in DEERS. Once the contractor confirms that payment amounts match, the disenrollment may be entered in DOES or through the failure to pay fees interface.
When there is a disenrollment, the appropriate systems are notified, as necessary. The following table lists the functions and applications that allow each action:

1.11 Modification Of Enrollment On Or After January 1, 2018
Whenever there is a modification to an enrollment, the appropriate systems are notified, as necessary.
1.11.1 PCM Change and Cancellation
PCM changes are not restricted to open season and QLEs. PCM reassignments occur when the enrollee changes regions or desires to change PCM’s within the region or MTF. Only the current enrolling organization may change the PCM selection. A PCM change can be made only on the latest PCM segment. DEERS then terminates the previous PCM with an end date, which will be the day before the begin date for the new PCM. Upon change of PCM, DEERS will notify the enrollee of the new PCM information, as well as sending notifications to the appropriate MTFs and contractors.
DOES will allow PCM’s with available capacities to be assigned as new PCM’s. If a contractor is canceling a PCM assignment, DOES will permit reinstatement of a PCM whose capacity has been reached.
1.11.2 PCM Panel Reassignment
PCM Panel Reassignment Application (PCMRA) allows the user to select all or part of a PCM’s panel for reassignment to other PCMs. PCM reassignments are processed periodically by DEERS. DEERS will decrement and increment PCM capacities when processing panel reassignments, but will not prevent the reassignment if the selected gaining PCM does not have available capacity. As part of the moves, DEERS sends notifications to the appropriate systems. Note that PCM change notices may be suppressed during a panel reassignment, but the suppression must apply to the entire transaction.
1.11.3 DC PCM Panel Reassignment
All PCM changes for DC PCMs must be performed by the MCSC. The MTF will set up the panel reassignments using PCMRA. The contractor shall complete the required moves using PCMRA within three business days of submission.
Panel changes that cross Composite Health Care System (CHCS) platforms must be coordinated not only with the contractor but with the designated Defense Health Agency (DHA) Representative and DEERS.
Emergency moves may be coordinated by the MTF with the MCSC by the best available means, including phone, fax, or secure e-mail.
1.11.4 Civilian Panel Reassignment
DMDC provides a web application to allow contractors to perform mass reassignments of a civilian PCM’s enrollees. There is an option to suppress the PCM change notices for civilian PCM panel reassignments.

1.11.5 Transfer of Enrollment and Transfer Cancellation
A transfer of enrollment moves the enrollment from one contract to another and thus moves the responsibility for the administration of the enrollment to the gaining contractor. DEERS supports transfers within plans (e.g., TRICARE Prime). A transfer may include a change to the Health Care Coverage (HCC) plan in some cases, such as TRICARE Prime for ADSMs to TPR for ADSMs. DEERS will enforce when such transfers are allowed.
1.12 Claims, CCD Data On Or After January 1, 2018
DEERS is the system of record for eligibility and enrollment information. As such, in the process of claims adjudication, the contractor shall query DEERS to determine eligibility and/or enrollment status for a given period of time. The contractor shall use DEERS as the database of record for:
• Person Identification• Eligibility• Enrollment and PCM information• Enrollment and FY or CY, as applicable to date totals for TRICARE CC&D amounts• Other Government Programs (OGP)
The contractor shall not override this data with information from other sources. Continued Health Care Benefits Program (CHCBP) CC&D information shall be obtained from the CHCBP contractor.
Although DEERS is not the database of record for address, it is a centralized repository that is reliant on numerous organizations to verify, update and add to at every opportunity. The address data received as part of the claims inquiry shall be used as part of the claims adjudication process. If the contractor has evidence of additional or more current address information they shall process claims using the additional or more current information and update DEERS within two business days.
Although DEERS is not the database of record for OHI, it is a centralized repository of OHI information that is reliant on the MHS organizations to verify, update and add to at every opportunity. The OHI data received as part of the claims inquiry shall be used as part of the claims adjudication process. If the contractor has evidence of additional or more current OHI information they shall process claims using the additional or more current information. After the claims adjudication process is complete, the contractor shall send the updated or additional OHI information to DEERS within two business days.
DEERS stores enrollment and FY CC&D data in a central repository. DEERS stores the current and the four prior enrollment and FY CC&D totals. The purpose of the DEERS CCDD repository is to maintain and provide accurate CC&D amounts, making them universally accessible to DoD claims processors.

1.12.1 Data Events: Inquiries And Responses
This section identifies the main events, including the inquiries and responses between the contractors and DEERS, associated with CCDD transactions. The main events to support processing this information include:
• HCC Inquiry for Claims• CCDD Totals Inquiry• CCDD Amounts Update• CCDD Transaction History Request
1.12.1.1 HCC Inquiry For Claims
The contractor shall install a prepayment eligibility verification system into its TRICARE operation that results in a query against DEERS for TRICARE claims and adjustments. The interface should be conducted early in the claims processing cycle to assure extensive development/claims review is not done on claims for ineligible beneficiaries. The DEERS HCC Inquiry for Claims supports business events associated with HCC and CCDD data for processing medical claims. This inquiry may also be used for general customer service requests or for referrals and authorizations.
The contractor must use the eligibility, enrollment, OGPs (e.g., Medicare), and the PCM information returned on the DEERS response to process the claim. The contractor must use CCDD information either from this DEERS response or from a totals inquiry completed immediately prior to adjudication. The contractor may use address and OHI information from any source but must update DEERS with any differing information within two business days if the information is more current.
There are multiple options for inquiring about coverage information while including CCDD information. These different inquiry options allow the inquirer to receive coverage information and CCDD totals with or without locking the CCDD information for the family. A coverage inquiry and lock of the CCDD accumulations is necessary prior to updating this data on

DEERS.
For audit and performance review purposes, the contractor is required to retain a copy of every transaction and response sent and received for claims adjudication procedures. This information is to be retained for the period required by the TRICARE Policy Manual (TPM) or TOM.
Unless authorized by the contracting officer, the contractor may not bypass the query/response process. If either DEERS or the contractor is down for 24 hours or any other extended period of time the contractor shall work directly with DEERS and DHA to develop a mutually agreeable method and schedule for processing the backlog or implementing their disaster recovery processes.
1.12.1.2 Exceptions To The DEERS Eligibility Query Process
Claims processing adjudication requires a query to DEERS except in cases where a claim contains only services that will be totally denied and no monies are to be applied to the CCDD. No query is needed for:
• Another claim or adjustment for the same beneficiary that is being processed at the same time.
• Negative Adjustments
• Total Cancellations
1.12.1.3 Information Required For A HCC Inquiry For Claims
The information needed to perform this type of coverage inquiry includes:
• Person identification information, including person or family transaction type• Begin and end dates for the inquiry period
1.12.1.4 Person Identification
A beneficiary’s information is accessed with the coverage inquiry using the identification information from the claim. DEERS performs the identification of the individual and returns the system identifiers (DEERS ID and Patient ID). The DEERS IDs shall be used for subsequent communications on this claim.
1.12.1.4.1 Inquiry Options: Person Or Family
The inquirer must specify if the coverage inquiry is for a person or the entire family. The person inquiry option should be used when specific person identification is known. If person information is incomplete, the family inquiry mode can be used. In family inquiries, the Inquiry Person Type Code is required to indicate if the SSN, Foreign ID, or Temporary ID is for the sponsor or family member. In such inquiries, DEERS returns both sponsor and family member information. If there is more than one person or family match, DEERS will return a partial match response. The contractor shall select the correct person and resend the coverage inquiry.

1.12.1.4.2 Inquiry Period
In addition to identifying the correct person or family, the inquirer must supply the inquiry period. The inquiry period may either be a single day or can span multiple days. Historical dates are valid, as long as the requested dates are within five years. The inquirer queries DEERS for information about the coverage plans in effect during that inquiry period for the sponsor and/or family member. The reply may include one or more coverage plans in effect during the specified period. For claims, the contractor shall use the dates of service on the claim.

1.12.1.4.3 Lock indicator
The contractor chooses whether to lock Catastrophic Cap Deductible Database (CCDD) totals. If the contractor intends to update the CCD amounts, the contractor must lock the totals.
1.12.1.5 Information Returned In The HCC Inquiry For Claims
The DEERS ID is returned in response to a coverage inquiry. The contractor shall store the DEERS ID for use in subsequent CCDD update transactions for this claim. In addition, the Patient ID is returned in the coverage response. The contractor shall store the Patient ID. The contractor must put the Patient ID and DEERS ID on the TRICARE Encounter Data (TED) record.
When implementing applications that use system to system interfaces that return partial matches (such as claims), those applications must allow the operator to view and select the correct individual, as described above. The partial match response is designed to provide unique identifiers (Patient ID or DEERS ID) that can ensure that subsequent processing will uniquely identify the correct individual or beneficiary.
1.12.1.5.1 Data Returned In A Coverage Inquiry That Repeats For Every Coverage Plan
In response to a HCC Inquiry for Claims, DEERS returns the specified coverage information in effect for the inquiry period. The following list shows the information DEERS returns for each coverage plan in effect during the inquiry period:
• Coverage plan information (assigned or enrolled)• Coverage plan begin and end dates within the inquiry period• Sponsor branch of service and family member category and relationship to the
sponsor during coverage period
Note: Newborn coverage information will only be reflected after the newborn is added to DEERS. See TOM, Chapter 8, Section 1 and TPM, Chapter 10, Section 3.1.
1.12.1.5.2 Data Returned In A Coverage Inquiry Independently From The Coverage Plan Information
The DEERS coverage response will always return:
• Sponsor Personnel Information: All current personnel segments will be returned, including dual eligible segments. The contractor shall not use this information for claims processing. This information is intended to be used for the TED only.
• Person information including the mailing address.
• The residential zip code will be returned for jurisdiction purposes.
• CCDD totals: Both family and individual CCDD accumulations are provided in the coverage response.
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
38
• Lock Indicator: The status of the lock on CCDD totals is returned on the coverage response.
The DEERS coverage response may include the following information. If nothing is returned, this means that DEERS does not have this information for the requested inquiry dates.
• PCM information is returned for some enrolled coverage plans. No PCM information is present for the DoD assigned coverage plans and some enrolled coverage plans. PCM information provided includes DMIS, the PCM Network Provider Type Code, and individual PCM information if available in DEERS.
• OHI: Limited OHI information is returned.
• OGPs: Complete OGP information is provided in the response.
1.12.1.5.3 HCC Copayment Factor For Coverage Inquiries
The HCC Copayment Factor Code for a beneficiary is determined by DEERS and is returned on a claims inquiry, but may be influenced by treatment information from a claim. The contractor shall use this factor code to determine the actual copayment for the claim.
The different factors are determined by legislation, which considers factors such as pay grade and personnel category, such as retired sponsor or active duty. Although the rates are based on the population to which they pertain, such as retired sponsor, these rates also apply to a sponsor’s family members. Examples of copayment factors are:
• Pay Grade Corporal/Sergeant or Petty Officer Third Class and below rate• Pay Grade Sergeant/Staff Sergeant or Petty Officer Second Class and above rate• Retiree and Surviving family members of deceased active duty sponsors rate• Foreign Military rate
The contractor’s system should be flexible enough to permit additional rate codes to be added, as required by the DoD.
1.12.1.5.4 Special Entitlements
Congressional legislation may affect deductibles and rates. The Special Entitlement Code and dates if applicable provide information to support this legislation. Effective dates will also be included in the response from DEERS. Note that a person may have multiple special entitlements. Examples are:
• Special entitlement for participation in Operation Joint Endeavor. This code, when returned from a claims inquiry to DEERS, will waive or reduce the annual deductible charges of the beneficiary for the period indicated by the effective and expiration dates of the special entitlement section of the data returned.
• Special entitlement for participation in Operation Noble Eagle. This code, when returned from a claims inquiry to DEERS, will waive or reduce the annual deductible charges of the beneficiary for the period indicated by the effective
C-97, October 19, 2017

and expiration dates of the special entitlement section of the data returned. In addition, non-participating physicians will be paid up to 115% of the CHAMPUS Maximum Allowable Charge (CMAC) or billed charges whichever is less.
1.12.1.6 Multiple Responses To A Single HCC Inquiry for Claims
DEERS may need to send multiple responses to a single HCC Inquiry for Claims if a person has multiple DEERS IDs within the inquiry period. It is necessary for DEERS to capture family member entitlements and benefit coverage corresponding to each instance of the person’s DEERS ID. For example, in a joint service marriage, a child may be covered by the mother from January through May (DEERS ID #1) and covered by the father from June through December (DEERS ID #2). These responses are returned in a single transaction. (Note: multiple responses are returned only when an individual inquiry is submitted.) Family inquiries will not produce multiple responses. Upon receiving a multiple response, the contractor shall select the correct beneficiary and resubmit a properly configured claims inquiry.
Contractors shall deny a claim (either totally or partially) if the services were received partially or entirely outside any period of eligibility.
If the contractor is unable to select a patient from the family listing provided by DEERS, the contractor shall check the patient’s DOB. If the DOB is within 365 days of the date of the query (i.e., a newborn less than one year old), the contractor shall release the claim for normal processing.
CHAMPVA claims shall be forwarded to Health Administration Center, CHAMPVA Program, PO Box 65024, Denver CO 80206-5024.
A list of key DSO personnel and the Joint Uniformed Services Personnel Advisory Committee (JUSPAC) and the Joint Uniformed Services Medical Advisory Committee (JUSMAC) Members is provided at the DHA web site at http://www.tricare.mil. These individuals are designated by the DHA to assist DoD beneficiaries on issues regarding claims payments. In extreme cases the DSO may direct the claims processor to override the DEERS information; however, in most cases the DSO is able to correct the database to allow the claim to be reprocessed appropriately. The procedure the contractor shall use to request data corrections is in Section 1.7.
Any overrides issued by the DSO will be in writing detailing the information needed to process the claim. Overrides cannot be processed verbally, and overrides are not allowed in cases where correction of the data is the appropriate action. Only in cases of aged data that can not be corrected will DSO authorize an override. The contractor will provide designated Point Of Contact (POC) for the DSO personnel and the JUSPAC/JUSMAC members identified on the DHA web site.
1.12.1.7 CCDD Totals Inquiry
The CCDD Totals Inquiry is used to obtain CCDD balances for the year(s) that correspond to the requested inquiry period. The contractor must inquire and lock CCDD totals before updating DEERS CCDD amounts.
Note: A catastrophic cap record is not required for persons who are authorized benefits but are not on DEERS or eligible for medical benefits, such as prisoners or government employees. The purpose of the catastrophic cap is to benefit those beneficiaries who are eligible for MHS benefits.
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
40
Those persons that are authorized benefits who would not under any other circumstances be eligible, are not subject to catastrophic cap requirements.
1.12.1.7.1 Information Required To Inquire For Totals
The following information details the data required to inquire for CCDD totals.
1.12.1.7.1.1 Person Information
The contractor must use the DEERS ID for the beneficiary whose claim is being processed for this inquiry. The DEERS ID is returned by DEERS on the policy notification or coverage response. Even though only one person’s DEERS ID is used, both individual and family totals will be returned in the response.
1.12.1.7.1.2 CCDD Totals Inquiry Period
The inquiry period used for the CCDD Totals Inquiry may be a single date or a date range, not more than six years in the past (current FY and five prior FYs). Future dates are not valid.
1.12.1.7.1.3 Lock Indicator
If the contractor intends to update the CCDD amounts, the contractor must lock the CCDD totals.
1.12.1.7.2 Response To CCDD Totals Inquiry
The following information details the information returned from a CCDD totals and inquiry.
1.12.1.7.2.1 CCDD Totals
DEERS sends a response showing year-to-date CCDD totals for each FY or CY, based on the inquiry dates requested. Dates must be within the current FY or CY (as appropriate) or five prior FYs or CYs (as appropriate) for a total of six FYs or CYs (as appropriate). Both individual and family totals are displayed. If there are no CCDD totals accumulated for any FY in the inquiry period requested, DEERS will show a zero value for that fiscal year.
If the inquiry period spans multiple FYs, the CCDD totals would repeat multiple times. For example, if the inquiry dates are September 1, 2007 through October 25, 2007, there would be two sets of CCDD totals, one for FY 2007 and one for FY 2008.
1.12.1.7.2.2 Lock Information
• If a contractor inquires for CCDD totals and does not request a lock on the totals, DEERS returns any totals accumulated for the inquiry period and any lock information if the totals were already locked.
• If a contractor inquires for totals with a request to lock and the totals were not already locked, DEERS would return the accumulated totals and the lock
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
41
information, including the locking organization, the lock date, and the lock time.
• If a contractor inquires and requests a lock for a beneficiary whose totals are already locked, only the locking organization, the lock date, and the lock time will be returned. No totals will be returned in this situation.
1.12.1.8 Updating CCDD Amounts
The CCDD total can be updated online for the current and five prior FYs. This update transaction requires the DEERS ID, which may be obtained from a coverage or CCDD totals inquiry. Only the same organization that placed the lock may update the locked record and remove the lock. DEERS validates that the updating organization is the same as the organization that placed the lock. If there is a discrepancy, DEERS does not allow the update and sends a response that the update was not successful. If there are more claims outstanding for the same family, the contractor may choose not to remove the lock. In this case, the record would remain locked until the 48-hour time period expires, or the lock is removed, whichever comes first.
Each transaction should only include updates for one claim. CCDD amounts for multiple claims should be sent in separate transactions. In the split claim situation, multiple transactions must be sent for the same claim. For example, if a claim spans FYs or CYs, (as appropriate) and is split, updates for FY 2000 and FY 2001 must be sent in two transactions using the claim extension identifier to distinguish the two updates from one another. If a claim does not span multiple fiscal or enrollment years, the claim extension identifier should be set to ‘000’. Split claims will use a unique claim extension identifier for each FY or CY, (as appropriate) in which the claim occurs.
If cost-shares, copays or deductibles are collected, these amounts must be posted to CCDD, even if the catastrophic cap has been met. If cost-shares, copays or deductibles were reduced or waived based on the CCDD totals returned, those amounts shall also be posted to DEERS even if the catastrophic cap has been met. If the catastrophic cap is exceeded, the contractor shall refund the overage to the beneficiary.
Do not send CCDD updates for programs for which they do not apply (e.g., Extended Care Health Option (ECHO)). See the TPM.
1.12.1.8.1 Information Required To Update CCDD Amounts
The contractor must provide the following information to update the CCDD amounts:
• DEERS ID: This identifies the beneficiary for whom the update is applied.
• Catastrophic cap, deductible, and/or Point Of Service (POS) dollar amount. The contractor sends DEERS the CCDD amount for the beneficiary. DEERS knows to which family the beneficiary belongs and rolls up the totals for the correct family using the DEERS ID.
• Identifier for the claim, enrollment fee, or adjustment.
Note: If there is a discrepancy between the identifier used for locking and the identifier used for updating, DEERS does not allow the update.
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
42
• Claim extension identifier. When a claim spans FYs, the claim extension is used to identify a split claim. These claims should have the same claim identifier with a different claim extension identifier. Splitting the claim is the responsibility of the claims processor, who splits the claim, adds the claim extension, and sends this information to DEERS.
• Lock information (remove or do not remove lock).
• Dates provided for the catastrophic cap and/or deductible update. The dates shall include the date(s) of service for the claim (both begin and end date). These dates are necessary for accumulating the CCDD totals for the correct time period and HCDP.
1.12.1.8.2 Types Of CCDD Updates
DEERS supports CCDD update functionality including adding and adjusting amounts. Adds and adjustments may be made for the current and previous five FYs or CYs, (as appropriate).
1.12.1.8.2.1 Adds
The contractor utilizes the CCDD update to add new CCDD amounts to the DEERS CCDD repository.
1.12.1.8.2.2 Adjustments
The contractor utilizes the CCDD update to adjust posted CCDD amounts. The same claim identifier as the original claim must be provided for the adjustment. The appropriate negative or positive amount should be entered, in order to correct the net amount. In order to adjust a claim, a contractor must provide the same information for updating a claim as outlined in the previous section. For example, a contractor updates a claim with a $50 catastrophic cap amount, then two weeks later discovers that the claim was incorrectly adjudicated and the catastrophic cap amount should have been $35. The contractor would then update the beneficiary’s catastrophic cap for the same claim number with an amount of -$15. The DEERS catastrophic cap balance would then show $35 for that claim. To cancel a catastrophic cap amount, adjust the claims to zero out the previous amount applied for that claim.
1.12.1.8.2.3 The 48-Hour Rule
If a contractor places a lock on a record and fails to update that record within the specified 48-hour time period, the contractor will be unable to update CCDD amounts, because the lock will have expired. To remove a lock, a contractor shall perform a CCDD update specifying to remove the lock. In this case, the contractor would send no catastrophic cap or deductible amounts, only an indication of the removal of the lock.
1.12.1.8.2.4 Add Newborn
CCDD amounts for a newborn are posted to DEERS by using the CCDD update transaction and setting the Newborn Addition Indicator Code to ‘Y’. The ‘Y’ code indicates that a newborn placeholder is to be added. If DEERS returns an error code on a newborn add indicating
C-97, October 19, 2017
TRICARE Systems Manual 7950.2-M, February 1, 2008Chapter 3, Section 1.4
DEERS Functions
43
that the person is already on the database, the contractor shall query to determine if this is actually the same person. If so, then the contractor shall use the returned information to apply the CCDD to the existing record. Contractors shall not create duplicate newborn placeholders within the same family; special care should be taken when the newborn may have multiple sponsors (e.g., the child of two active duty sponsors should be tracked only under one of the two sponsors if at all possible).
The CCDD update transaction shall include both the newborn information and the CCDD amounts. After the newborn has been added to DEERS, the CCDD update will be posted to the database (provided that the family record is not locked). In the event that the CCDD update was unable to be posted, it is the contractor’s responsibility to query DEERS to verify that the newborn has been created. The contractor is then to resend the CCDD update transaction, setting the Newborn Addition Indicator Code to ‘(blank)’.
Adding the newborn in DEERS via CCDD updates will not generate eligibility for the newborn, but the newborn will show in GIQD and in claims responses. Once the sponsor “adds” the newborn in DEERS through the Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS), the newborn will be eligible like any other beneficiary.
1.12.2 CCDD Transaction History Request
CCDD transaction history information is useful for customer service requests, for auditing purposes, or for researching any problems associated with CCDD updates in relation to a particular claim. DEERS maintains a record of each update transaction applied toward CCDD information. This detailed transaction information is available through the CCDD web application.
Note: As a result of the conversion from the Fee Interface to the Fee Premium Interface, there may be situations in which there will be discrepancies between fee payments collected and applied to the CCDD, across FYs. Fees collected in one fiscal year may be applied in whole to the CCDD and then may have to be modified (removed from the fiscal year applied) and then, after conversion is complete, reapplied via the Fee Premium Interface, to the next fiscal year as a credit or refunded to the beneficiary, as applicable. DEERS will adjust the CCDD and recalculate the paid period end date and return the new paid period end date to the contractor. Any fees that were not adjusted in accordance with the noted process will remain in the Fee Interface and will not be converted to the Fee Premium Interface.
1.13 SIT Program
The SIT program supports the MHS billing and collection process. The SIT is validated by the DHA Uniform Business Office (UBO) through the DoD Verification Point of Contact (VPOC). The VPOC is ultimately responsible for maintaining the SIT in DEERS, which is the system of record for SIT information. The SIT provides uniform billing information for reimbursement of medical care costs covered through commercial policies held by the DoD beneficiary population. MHS personnel use the SIT to obtain other payer information in a standardized format.
The Health Insurance Carrier (HIC) Identifier (ID) is the unique identifier for a carrier. Once a standard national health plan identifier is adopted by the Secretary, Health and Human Services (HHS), DEERS and MHS trading partners will migrate to that identifier.

DEERS. See the Technical Specification, “Health Insurance Carrier/Other Health Insurance” for subscription procedures. In addition, holders of the SIT shall subscribe to DEERS at least daily in order to receive subsequent updates of the SIT.
Field users perform five actions with the SIT:
• Inquiry actions can be performed on the OHI/SIT web application or through the local SIT file.
• An add action to report a new SIT entry for validation by the DoD VPOC.
• An update action to report an updated SIT entry for validation by the DoD VPOC.
• The cancellation of a carrier add sent to the SIT for verification by the DoD VPOC.
Note: Only the organization requesting a carrier to be added can cancel the request.
• A request to deactivate a verified HIC previously sent to the SIT for verification by the DoD VPOC.
1.13.1 SIT Inquiry
Local holders of the SIT cannot perform system-to-system inquiries against the central SIT maintained on DEERS.
1.13.2 SIT Add
When MHS personnel add a complete OHI record to a person or patient, they will need the HIC ID from the SIT. The HIC ID represents the identifier assigned to insurance carriers in the SIT provided by DEERS. The HIC ID Status Code identifies the ID as standard or temporary. See the “Technical Specifications for the HIC SIT and the OHI” for detailed information about the data elements required for the SIT add process.
When a HIC is not on the SIT, the user may send a request to add it to the SIT on DEERS. DEERS responds with a HIC ID, a HIC Status Code with the designation of “temporary,” and a HIC Verification Status Code of “unverified”. Unverified carriers are made available to all local holders of the SIT through the daily subscription process to prevent duplicate requests requiring VPOC validation. OHI may be assigned to unverified carriers. When the DoD VPOC validates the SIT, the HIC Verification Status Code will be changed from “unverified” to “verified.”
1.13.3 SIT Update
For updates to an existing SIT record, the existing HIC ID must be sent with the update. These updates are sent to all subscribers though the daily subscription process. Rejection of SIT updates by the DoD VPOC is reported to all local holders of the SIT. DEERS does not allow an update to a HIC when the HIC has a Verification Status Code of “unverified.”

1.13.4 SIT Add Cancellation
The MHS personnel may need to cancel a previously submitted “add” to the SIT. A cancel can only be done by the system that submitted the “add” and only if the “add” has not yet been verified by the DoD VPOC. DEERS cancels any OHI policy on the DEERS database associated with the cancelled “unverified” HIC. After the “add” request is cancelled, DEERS will provide the cancellations to all local holders of the SIT through the daily subscription process.
1.13.5 Validation Of HIC Information
Validation of a SIT update includes verifying the name, mailing address, and telephone number information for the HIC. In addition, the DoD VPOC assigns the HIC Status Code of “Standard” to validated HICs. If the DoD VPOC determines that the requested update is not correct, the DoD VPOC assigns a HIC Status Code of “rejected”. Rejected updates are returned to all local holders of the SIT.
If a SIT “add” or “update” request is rejected by the DoD VPOC, DEERS cancels any OHI policy on the DEERS database associated with the rejected HIC. All SIT additions and updates that are validated by the DoD VPOC are made available to all systems identified to DEERS as authorized holders of a local copy of the SIT.
1.13.6 Deactivation of a HIC
MHS organizations can request the DoD VPOC to deactivate any HIC on the SIT. DEERS does not allow a deactivation of a HIC with a HIC Status Code of “temporary” and/or a HIC Verification Status Code of “unverified”, until validated by the DoD VPOC. DEERS deactivates any OHI policy on the DEERS database associated with the deactivated HIC. DEERS reports the deactivation of the HIC to all local holders of the SIT.
1.14 OHI
OHI identifies non-DoD health insurance held by a beneficiary. The requirements for OHI are validated by the DHA UBO. OHI information includes:
• OHI policy and carrier• Policyholder• Type of coverage provided by the additional insurance policy• Employer information offering coverage, if applicable• Effective period of the policy
OHI transactions allow adding, updating, canceling, or viewing all OHI policy information. OHI policy updates can accompany enrollments or be performed alone. OHI information can be added to DEERS or updated on DEERS through multiple mechanisms. At the time of enrollment the contractor will determine the existence of OHI. The contractor can add or update minimal OHI data through the DOES application used by the contractor to enter enrollments into DEERS. In addition, DEERS will accept OHI updates from a claims processor through a system to system interface. Other MHS systems can add or update the OHI through the OHI/SIT Web application provided by DEERS. The presence of an OHI Policy discovered during routine claims processing shall be updated on DEERS within two business days of receipt of the required information.

The minimum information necessary to add OHI to a person record is:
• Policy Identifier (policy number)• OHI Effective Date• HIPAA Insurance Type Code• HIPAA Person Association Code• Claim Filing Code• OHI Coverage Type Code• OHI Coverage Payer Type Code• OHI Coverage Effective Date• OHI Policy Coverage Precedence Code• HIC Name or HIC ID• Health Insurance Coverage Type Code• Health Insurance Payer Type Code
Note: There are additional data elements necessary if the policy being added is a Group Employee policy.
If only the minimum required data is entered by the contractor, the contractor is required to fully develop the remaining OHI data necessary to complete the OHI record within 15 business days. Detailed requirements for the exchange of OHI information are contained in the “Technical Specifications for the Health Insurance Carriers Standard Insurance Table (SIT) and the Other Health Insurance (OHI) Carriers.” HIC information is validated against the SIT which maintains the valid insurance carrier information on DEERS.
DEERS requires the contractor to perform an OHI Inquiry before attempting to add or update an OHI policy. The MHS organizations are reliant on the individual beneficiary to provide accurate OHI information and DEERS is reliant on the MHS organizations for the accurate assignment of policy information to the individual record. DEERS is not the system of record for OHI information. Performing an OHI Inquiry on a person before adding or attempting to update an OHI policy helps ensure that the proper policy is updated based on the most current information or the person.
Examples of OHI coverages are:
• Comprehensive Medical coverage (Plans with multiple coverage types)• Medical coverage• Inpatient coverage• Outpatient coverage• Pharmacy coverage• Dental coverage• Long-term care coverage• Mental health coverage• Vision coverage• Partial hospitalization coverage• Skilled nursing care coverage
The default coverage will be Comprehensive Medical Coverage unless another of the above coverages is selected. The indication of Comprehensive Medical Coverage presumes medical coverage, inpatient coverage, outpatient coverage, and pharmacy coverage. The MCSC must

develop the OHI within 15 days but is not responsible for development of pharmacy. The pharmacy contractor is expected to develop pharmacy OHI.
In addition, each OHI policy carries a code indicating whether the policy is active, inactive, or deactivated. The deactivation of an OHI policy only occurs when the DoD VPOC at DHA deactivates the HIC on the SIT. DEERS retains OHI policy data for five years after an OHI policy expires or is deactivated or terminated.
1.14.1 OHI Policy Inquiry
1.14.1.1 Person Identification For OHI Policy Inquiry
OHI information is requested using the Patient ID, which is person-level identification. Person identification is used for the sponsor or family member. If the Patient ID is unknown, a coverage inquiry to DEERS can be performed to obtain it.
1.14.1.2 OHI Person Inquiry
The OHI data is by person. A system-to-system OHI inquiry is only for individual person requests. The OHI/SIT web application allows a family OHI inquiry. DEERS allows multiple OHI policies for each person. DEERS does not support an inquiry that shows all insured persons in a particular policy.
1.14.1.3 OHI Information
In addition, queries may be filtered by the HIC ID or the HIC Name, the OHI Policy ID or the OHI Coverage Type Code.
The HIC ID represents the identifier assigned to insurance carriers in the SIT provided by the DoD VPOC to DEERS. A requester can seek information on a specific coverage for a beneficiary by using the OHI Coverage Type Code in the OHI inquiry sent to DEERS, or for a specific insurance carrier by using the HIC Name. If a requestor is unsure about a specific OHI Policy, a time period should be specified for the inquiry to return the OHI Policy information in effect.
1.14.1.4 Information Returned In The OHI Inquiry Response
The DEERS response returns all OHI policies in effect during the specified time period for the beneficiary. OHI policies that are inactive or deactivated are returned if the OHI policies were in effect for any portion of the OHI inquiry period. If a specific coverage type is selected in the inquiry, only policies having that coverage type are included in the DEERS response.
The OHI/SIT web application will return OHI for a requested beneficiary or a sponsor and family. OHI is displayed one person at a time. If DEERS cannot find OHI information, DEERS does not return any OHI policies for the requested OHI inquiry period. When the Patient ID is included in the OHI inquiry, the Patient ID is returned in the response.

1.14.2 OHI Policy Add
DEERS allows the MHS and contractor systems to add an OHI policy for a person when information is presented to them. An OHI Inquiry should be done prior to updating an OHI policy. This ensures that updates are performed with the most current information. Following the OHI Inquiry, the OHI data can be added as necessary. OHI data can be added during an enrollment via the DOES application. OHI can be updated any time after enrollment through the web application provided by DEERS, or through the system to system interface. The presence of an OHI Policy discovered during routine claims processing shall be entered on DEERS within two business days. Within 15 business days, the contractor shall provide all OHI data not initially entered.
The fields required to add an OHI policy for a person are:
• Patient ID• HIC ID• OHI Policy ID• OHI Effective Calendar Date• HIPAA Insurance Type Code• HIPAA Person Association Code• OHI Claims Filing Code• OHI Policy Coverage Effective Date• OHI Policy Coverage Precedence Code• HIC Coverage Type Code• HIC Coverage Payer Type Code• OHI Coverage Type Code• OHI Carrier Coverage Payer Type Code
When the MHS organization enters the HIC ID DEERS will check it against the SIT for validation of the HIC information. If the HIC ID is not on the SIT, the MHS organization may add a new HIC and Coverage. If the insurance carrier is not known, the MHS organization shall use the carrier “Placeholder HIC ID”, which is the placeholder entry on the SIT. The HIC “Placeholder HIC ID” has an assigned HIC ID of “UNKVA0001” with a coverage type of “XM”. For “Placeholder HIC ID” OHI policies, the default coverage indicator is “comprehensive medical”; however, any coverage indicator can be assigned to it. The single placeholder OHI policy can be used to indicate that an OHI policy exists for a beneficiary. The enrolling entity or updating system is responsible for obtaining the complete OHI information and updating the placeholder OHI policy in DEERS within 15 business days.
Pharmacy placeholder policies will be developed by the pharmacy contractor, regardless of which organization created the placeholder. All other placeholder policies will be developed by the contractor, regardless of which organization created the placeholder. MHS organizations will not normally enter placeholder policies but would develop them if they created them.
A person can have multiple types of OHI coverage for one policy. For example, to add an OHI policy that covers medical and vision, two OHI coverage types, one for medical coverage and one for vision coverage, would be sent to DEERS.
A person can have multiple OHI policies. Multiple OHI policies may have the same or different HICs, and/or the same or different OHI policy effective periods.

The HIC ID, OHI Policy ID, and OHI Effective Date cannot be updated once an OHI policy has been added to DEERS. These attributes, along with the person identification, uniquely associate an OHI Policy to a person. All messages sent to DEERS are acknowledged as either accepted or rejected.
1.14.3 OHI Policy Update
DEERS allows the MHS systems to update existing OHI policy and coverage information for a person when policy change information is presented. Policy and coverage updates include modifications to existing policy and coverage information. Updates can also be used to terminate an existing policy or coverage, that is when the policy or coverage no longer applies to the person. An OHI Inquiry must be done prior to updating an OHI policy. Following the OHI Inquiry, the OHI data can be updated as necessary.
If OHI is identified during routine claims processing or other contract activities, the contractor shall send the OHI information to DEERS within two business days.
1.14.4 OHI Policy Cancellation
Cancellation of an OHI policy is used to remove a policy that was erroneously associated to a person. The OHI Policy Cancellation is not used to terminate an existing policy (see OHI Policy Update above). An OHI policy cancellation completely removes the policy. DEERS verifies that the cancellation is performed by the entity that added or last updated the OHI policy.
Note: Terminations do not remove the policy from a person’s record.
When canceling an OHI policy, an OHI Policy Inquiry must be done to verify the information necessary to perform a cancellation. Canceling an OHI policy requires the following data elements:
• Patient ID• HIC ID• OHI Policy ID• OHI Effective Calendar Date• OHI Expiration Calendar Date• OHI End Reason Code
1.15 Medicare Data
DEERS performs a match with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to obtain Medicare data and incorporates the Medicare data into the DEERS database as OGPs entitlement information. This information includes Medicare Parts A, B, C, and D eligibility along with the effective dates. The match includes all potential Medicare-eligible beneficiaries.
DEERS sends Medicare Parts A and B information to the TDEFIC. The TDEFIC sends the information to the CMS Fiscal Intermediaries for identification of Medicare eligibles during claims adjudication.
