Title: Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS); TRICARE Pharmacy Benefits Program 
Abstract: This rule implements several changes enacted by the John Warner National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (NDAA-07), Public Law 109-364, and accompanying recommendations of the Conference Committee, set forth in H. Conf. Rept. 109-702. Specifically, this rule recommends changes to adopt state-of-the-art pharmacy benefit management practices to encourage greater use of the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy (TMOP) Program, generic drugs, formulary drugs, and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs. The rule would not affect retail pharmacy copayment amounts (currently under a statutory cap).
