TRICARE Sub-Acute Care Program Rule Implements Medicare Reforms for Skilled Nursing Facilities and Home Health Care Providers

The TRICARE Sub-Acute Care Program rule partially implements the 2002 National Defense Authorization Act, establishing an integrated sub-acute care benefits program modeled after Medicare, adopting Medicare payment methods, and prohibiting balance billing for institutional providers. The rule also changes the statutory exclusion of coverage for custodial and domiciliary care.
