The Department of Defense unexpectedly dumped UnitedHealth Military & Veterans Services when it inked separate five-year contracts with Humana and Health Net to manage Tricare, which provides health insurance to U.S. military members, in July 2016. The payer had previously managed care for Tricare’s west region since 2012, according to Military Times.
The decision could save the federal government from delaying implementation of the Tricare contracts.
The judgment is sealed until the payers submit redaction proposals by June 30.
