These collection instruments serve as
application for enrollment, disenrollment, and Primary Care Manager
(PCM) Change for the Department of Defense's TRICARE Prime program.
The information collected provides the necessary data to determine
beneficiary eligibility, complete enrollment, change beneficiary's
enrollment (new Primary Care Manager, enrolled region, add a
dependent, etc.), or dis-enroll the beneficiary.

USC 1099 Name of Law: Health Care Enrollment System
In the past, only the burden
for responses collected through the DD Form 2876 and the web portal
were taken into consideration, not the responses via telephone.
This oversight is now being corrected and the burden more
accurately reflects the popular use of TRICARE Prime, specifically
the enrollment, disenrollment, and primary care manager change
form. In addition, ease of the online system and allowance of
enrolling via telephone has caused a significant increase from past
collections. However, the individual burden has decreased from 30
minutes to 15 minutes due to revisions of the form.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies

1320.8(b)(3).
