DOD Initiates Medical Program
Fradulent use and abuse of the military health
care system, estimated at $60 million a year, is
so widespread that the Department of Defense
has started a new program that affects everyone
entitled to military health care.
This month DOD started enrolling all military
retirees, survivors, active duty members and
eligible family members who reside in
Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas in the Defense
Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System
Every active duty military person, as well as
retirees and survivors must enroll in DEERS to
receive medical care
The old method of presenting a military iden-
tification card to obtain service at a military
health facility is on the way out
In the future, DEERS’ nationwide computer
linkup will determine who is eligible to be
treated.
For now, however, the ID card will still work
since the new DEERS system will not be opera-
tional for several months.
DOD’s toughest problem is informing military
retirees and survivors, especially those who are
not presently receiving government checks but
are eligible for military health care.
“They have to know that if they are going to
continue to use military health facilities, such as
base or post hospitals, they must enroll in
DEERS And the time for them to enroll is this
summer,” according to Bob MacNaughton,
DEERS spokesman for the three-state area, at
Lackland AFB, near San Antonio.
In September, military health facilities in the
three-state area will begin checking names with
the DEERS computer link. Those who do not
show up on the computer tape will not be denied
care at first, MacNaughton explained, but they
will be informed that they must enroll.
But the method of enrolling differs according
to the categories of those eligible for care.
Active duty members of the Army, Air Force,
Navy and Marines automatically will be enrolled
in DEERS. Although they will not have to enroll,
they will have to enroll their spouses and
children.
Retired members of the military who are
receiving government checks will also be enroll-
ed automatically, since the services have cur-
rent records indicating their status eligibility.
But they must take steps to enroll family
members.
All survivors (widows or widowers of active
duty or retired service members) must enroll
themselves
In all cases documentation establishing family
relationships to sponsors, such as birth cer-
tificates and marriage licenses, will be needed
The process will be similar to applying for an
ID card, MacNaughton said, but applicants will
not receive a new card.
An important difference, he noted, is that
children under 10, who are not required to have
an ID card, must be enrolled in DEERS.
In late June, retirees will be mailed applica-
tion forms and instructions for enrolling their
families. Enrollment can be accomplished
through the mail with no requirement for the
retiree to report to a military installation. The
same is true for survivors who are receiving
checks.
But most survivors, and some retirees, will not
get packets because DOD does not have their
current addresses. They should contact the
military to have the packets mailed to them,
MacNaughton said, if they haven’t received one
by mid-July.
Retired Air Force members, for example,
should contact the DEERS office or the Retire-
ment Services Office at the Air Force Base
nearest them, he said.
Active duty service men and women will enroll
their families through normal personnel chan-
nels at their commands. Their commanders will
tell them how to enroll and where to report.
Single service members with no family
members to support will not have to do anything,
according to MacNaughton.
Based on Defense Audit Service and General
Accounting Office reports, DOD estimates that
the misuse of the health care program annually
costs the government as much as $20 million at
military hospitals and $40 million in CHAMPUS,
the Civilian Health and Medical Program for the
Uniformed Services
Much of this abuse occurs when persons who
were once eligible fail to return their identifica-
tion cards to military authorities when their
eligibility ends and then continue to receive
medical care and other benefits to which they
are not entitled.
Fraud occurs when someone uses an iden-
tification card that has been altered or obtained
illegally.

Sen. Bentsen
Lauds Cl
Extension
Senator Lloyd Bentsen
on Tuesday, June 16 said
he is pleased that the
Senate has approved
legislation that will give
Vietnam veterans who
don't have a high school
diploma an extra two
years to apply for GI
benefits.
The Senate had been
expected to vote on the
issue Tuesday However,
when the Senate
Veterans’ Affairs
Committee agreed to
support the amendment,
it was approved by voice
vote late Monday.
“This legislation is
targeted at those Viet-
nam veterans who have
been out of the military
for a decade and still lack
a high school diploma or
the skills necessary to
obtain a decent job,”
Bentsen said.
Without the measure,
several thousand
educationally disad-
vantaged Vietnam
veterans would expect to
lose their eligibility for
education benefits in the
near future.
