CHAMPUS Tightens Civilian Hospital Use for Military Families
DoD and CHAMPUS move to curb civilian hospital use by families within 40 miles of military hospitals. New non availability statement rules begin Jan 1, with phased steps over two years and an adjacent ZIP Code system to define eligibility. Families near hospitals must obtain non availability statements for nonemergency inpatient care, while outpatient care remains allowed without them. The effort aims to save funds, reallocate resources, and potentially expand military hospital capacity through contracted civilian providers.
