Description
The Defense Health Agency (DHA) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather market input for a pilot program that will provide supplemental, fixed‑indemnity cancer insurance to active‑duty service members and their TRICARE‑enrolled dependents. The pilot is mandated by FY 2026 NDAA Section 734 and must be established by September 30 2027. DHA seeks vendor responses on plan design, coverage details, enrollment processes, claims handling, reporting, and acquisition strategy. No government funding will subsidize premiums; the insurer will be paid directly by participants. At least two national carriers will be selected for a three‑year, non‑renewable contract.
• Provide TRICARE‑specific supplemental cancer coverage, detailing how it differs from commercial plans and what non‑TRICARE services it would cover.
• Describe eligibility verification, enrollment workflow, premium structure, claim processing, and data reporting obligations.
• Address cybersecurity, privacy (DFARS) and CMMC requirements that will be imposed in the future solicitation.
