V'rifying Eligibility For Military

Health Care: Some Progress Has Been

Made, But Reliability Problems Remain

Concerns over fraud in military medical pro-
grams and the management of military health
resources led to the development of the
Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting
System (DEERS)--a computer-based system
about two-thirds implemented in the Con-
tineptal United States which will be used as
the primary means for confirming benefi-
ciary eligibility and as a tool in Department of
Def nse health resource planning.

Despite progress made toward achieving
DE RS' objectives, the system contains many
errors. GAO believes that attention should
be iven to DEERS in attaining

    -more complete and accurate benefi-
    ciary enrollment data,

    ,-more accurate beneficiary information,
    and

    7-prompt information on beneficiary eligi-
    bility changes.


GAO has made several recommendations
directed at improving DEERS' reliability.
