Abstract:
As a result of increasing pressure to control the rising costs of the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services CHAMPUS, the Department of Defense developed a comprehensive reform package known as the CHAMPUS Reform Initiative CRI. The CRI utilizes fixed-price contracts, health enrollment and preferred provider contracts to contain costs, enhance health benefits and ensure high quality medical care. This study is a critical comparative analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the CRI which ultimately may effect its success or failure.
