The Defense Health Agency has exercised the first one-year option term on 10-year contracts awarded to six companies to provide comprehensive health care support services for military retirees, active-duty personnel and their family members through the Uniformed Services Family Health Plan.
The Department of Defense said Thursday the vendors will offer medical management support, enrollment, provider networks management and customer service to eligible beneficiaries under the managed care plan.
In September 2023, DHA awarded six companies fixed-price contracts, which have a one-year base period and nine option years.
The first option year kicked off on Oct. 1 and will run through the end of September 2025.
DHA’s managed care contracting division in Aurora, Colorado, will use the Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care Fund and fiscal 2025 operations and maintenance funds to finance the contracts.
The awardees and the respective values of their first one-year option period are listed as follows:
- Brighton Marine – $160.5 million
- Christus Health – $150 million
