Description
In recent years, more service members are receiving their behavioral health care from TRICARE-
contracted civilian providers in the community (i.e., private-sector care) rather than from military
treatment facility providers. Although military providers typically conduct routine assessments of
readiness (i.e., ability to deploy and perform military duties without limitations) at every visit, it has been
unclear how these assessments are being conducted for service members receiving private-sector
behavioral health care. This presentation will educate participants on the different approaches for
conducting readiness assessments for service members in the private sector. Participants will also learn
about relevant findings from research using interviews with military treatment facility administrators and
behavioral health providers to better understand their approaches to readiness assessment for these
service members. Strategies for improving readiness assessments for service members receiving
private-sector behavioral health care will also be discussed.
