TRICARE UPDATE
Officials plan to roll out the new program in two phases, first offering a premium-based TRICARE
Standard/Extra benefit, Camacho said. Then, later this year, they plan to introduce the TRICARE Prime and
TRICARE Prime Remote plan, including overseas options, and the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan.
Once the program is in place, eligible young adults may submit an application and premium payment to the
appropriate regional or overseas contractor for processing, Camacho said. Cost shares, deductibles and
catastrophic caps will vary, based on the plan selected and the sponsor's status.
Young adult beneficiaries will receive an enrollment card after they buy coverage and their payment is
reflected in the Defense Eligibility Enrollment Reporting System, Camacho said.
The new beneficiaries may choose to pay premiums back to Jan. 1, which will entitle them to file claims for
any health care costs they have accrued since that date. To do so, officials advise that they save all receipts
to ease claims processing.
For adults who need health insurance coverage but no longer qualify for TRICARE coverage, officials
advise exploring the Continued Heath Care Benefit Program. This premium-based program offers
temporary, transitional health coverage for 18 to 36 months. Coverage must be purchased within 60 days of
losing TRICARE eligibility. Information about the program is posted on the TRICARE website.
Autism Awareness Month – ABA Therapy
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) is an approach to learning that uses discreet trial teaching methods to
acquire new skills or reduce adverse behaviors in children on the Autism Spectrum. It is one-on-one
therapy unless a social skill group is added periodically. Typical ABA sessions are two hours in length.
ABA Therapy is offered here at Fort Rucker through the Progress Center or in Dothan at the Spectrum
Clinic.
TRICARE typically covers up to $3,000/month in ABA Therapy for children with an Autism Spectrum
related diagnosis and who are active duty dependents. Families need to be enrolled in Extended Care
Health Options Program (ECHO) by calling Cindy Wilson – 1-866-323-7155. Each family has a
TRICARE monthly co-pay which typically ranges from $25 to $75 (depending on the sponsor’s rank).
To get approved for the program:
Obtain a diagnosis for your child through a psychologist
Apply for approval into the TRICARE DEMO program by calling a case manager with TRICARE

AC/RC Pay Concerns – Director Defense Military Pay Office
As a direct result of the unsigned budget, the April 2011 mid-month payments for all AC members was
decreased by seven days of pay for the period of April 9-15, 2011. Leave and Earnings statements reflect a
partial payment established and collected, representing the seven days of pay. Once the budget has been
approved, a subsequent payment for the residual amount will be issued and sent direct deposit to the
member’s financial institution for the pay that was suppressed by this action.
As a direct result of unsigned budget, the April 2011 mid-month payments for all RC members serving long
tours was decreased by seven days of pay for the period of April 9-15, 2011. Leave and Earnings statements
reflect a debt was established and collected, representing the seven days of pay. Once the budget has been
approved, a subsequent payment for the debt amount will be issued and sent direct deposit to the member’s
financial institution for the pay that was suppressed. For Reserve Soldiers on tours over thirty days, the
midmonth was processed with the normal calculations and then a casual pay debt was processed to offset the
pay for the calculated net amount of pay for the 9th through the 15th.
DFAS has not yet released a planned automatic email message to the Soldiers' AKO accounts nor sent out
general information to finance offices or the media on this adjustment. There is no specific remark on the
LES explaining the adjustment other than the normal CP collection remark. Assuming the current budget
impasse is resolved in time, the DFAS plan is to process a casual pay through the daily payment cycle to each
affected Soldiers account in order to hit on the 15th simultaneously with the midmonth payday.
Additional information will be provided as it is received.
