Purpose of the Meeting

    The purpose of the meeting is for the Health Care Delivery 
Subcommittee members to receive public comments concerning pediatric 
health care services during an open forum. The Subcommittee is 
examining opportunities to improve the overall provision of health care 
and related services for children of members of the Armed Forces to 
better promote the health of this beneficiary population and 
potentially realize cost savings for the Military Health System. The 
focus of this meeting will be on the primary and specialty care aspects 
of the tasking (excluding behavioral/mental health care) to the 
Subcommittee as outlined below:
     Identify the extent to which children receive 
developmentally appropriate and age appropriate health care services, 
including clinical preventive services, in both the direct care and 
purchased care components.
     Evaluate whether children have ready access to primary and 
specialty pediatric care.
     Address any issues associated with the TRICARE definition 
of ``medical necessity'' as it might specifically pertain to children 
and determine if the requirement for TRICARE to comply with Medicare 
standards disadvantages children from receiving needed health care.
    Comments from the public can range from insight on pediatric-
related health issues to personal accounts and objective input.
