REPORT BY THE



Comptroller General


OF THE UNITED STATES





Savings To CHAMPUS From

Requirement To Use

Uniformed Services Hospitals



The Civilian Health and Medical Program
of the Uniformed Services saved over $30
million during the 12-month period fol-
lowing the requirement that beneficiaries
residing within 40 miles of uniformed ser-
vices hospitals obtain available nonemer-
gency inpatient care there, rather than at
civilian hospitals.

According to the Defense Department, a
serious shortage of military physicians cur-
rently exists and is expected to continue
for at least several years. If this assess-
ment is accurate, the potential for signifi-
cant additional benefits from the require-
ment is limited. However, some further
savings could be realized through improve-
ments in administration of the require-
ment.
