<body>
<p>The Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency (DHA), is proposing a rule to implement Section 716 of the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (Pub. L. 117-263).&nbsp; Section 716, which provides new statutory language that supersedes language previously enacted in Section 702 of the Fiscal Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (Pub. L. 116-283), directs the Director of the DHA to implement a modified payment plan for certain civilians (who are not covered beneficiaries). This Section also provides the Director with the authority to waive fees for medical care provided to such civilians, when the provision of care enhances the knowledge, skills and abilities of health care providers.</p>
