Abstract: This survey will gather data on providers (physicians and now mental health providers) to assess the extent to which they are aware of the over all TRICARE program, accept new TRICARE Standard patients specifically and the extent to which these physicians accept Medicare patients. The information gathered through this project will be used to generate reports to address the legislative requirements specified in Section 711 of the FY08 NDAA.
