Pharmacy Commercial Off the Shelf (RxCOTS) • Commercial Product • Acquired October 2005 • Will be integrated with Military Electronic Health Record • Enterprise order portability • Refills anywhere • Standard drug information across Enterprise • Policy implementation at an Enterprise and Local Level • Immediate tracking of inventory and dispensing
T-Pharm Contract • RFP released 2006 • $50B value • What it does • Consolidates mail and retail under one contract • Decreases duplication of effort; simplifies contract administration • Optimizes distribution model • VA participating in a limited way
Current Strategies • Contain the growth at the retail point of service • Adjust co-pays to encourage use of mail order pharmacy over retail pharmacies • Educate and market the benefits of mail order to our beneficiaries • Expand program to allow voluntary price reductions at retail by drug companies • Provide tools to MTF’s to monitor costs • Expand Utilization Management efforts and data mining • Promote generic drugs
Utilization Management Program • Maximize use of: • Most cost effective agents • Most cost effective point of service • Maximize use of: • Generic vice brand • Formulary vice non-formulary • Retail network vice non-network pharmacies • MOP vice retail pharmacies
Long Term Strategies • E-Pharmacy Initiatives • Contain the growth and costs at the retail point of service • Pay MTF pharmacies for the ingredient cost plus a co-pay • MTF Commanders should look at pharmacy as a revenue source rather than a cost center • Will result in more open MTF formularies – less need for patients to seek Rx in the retail network • Expand number of military pharmacies • On base and off base • Full service formularies
Defense Health Budget • 2001 --- $18 Billion • 2006 --- $38 Billion (8% of DoD budget today) • 2015 --- $64 Billion (estimate) (12% of DoD budget)
Retirees Health Care Costs • 2006 --- 58% DoD Health Care Dollars • 2016 --- 66% DoD Health Care Dollars
Projections to 2015 • At current growth projections (11%) and under current benefit structure by 2015: • MTFs - $4.68B • TRRx - $4.70B • TMOP - $0.38B • >age 65 using all points of service - $7.80B TOTAL $17.50B (6.18B in FY2006) Or 27.34% of the Defense Health Budget in 2015 Up from the 16.26% of DHP budget in 2006
Cost Increases Driven By: • Benefit Expansions, including TRICARE for Life and TRICARE Reserve Select • No changes in TRICARE fees the past ten years • More beneficiaries attracted to low cost, expanded benefits, and quality of the program • High inflation in the health care industry • Employers provided incentives for beneficiaries to use TRICARE
