Abstract
Rising health care costs coupled with ever increasing
CHAMPUS use have spawned the creation of a number of
corrective programs. The civilian-run outpatient clinics
(NAVCARE in the Navy, PRIMUS in the Army) are one such
effort to curb health care costs by contracting outpatient
services to private corporations. It is hoped that these
clinics will attract patients away from the CHAMPUS program
by offering a wide range of free primary and preventive care
services to dependents and retirees. This thesis will
examine the civilian-run outpatient clinics in the Naval
Hospital Oakland and Silas B. Hays Army Community Hospital
catchment areas to evaluate their success in expanding
availability of services while maintaining a cost effective
edge over Military Treatment Facilities and CHAMPUS.
