Defense Health Care: Transfers of Military Personnel With Disabled Children

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the procedures that the Department of Defense (DOD) uses to reassign personnel who have children with disabilities, focusing on: (1) whether DOD inappropriately transferred disproportionate numbers of personnel who have children with disabilities to military bases in certain states; and (2) DOD efforts to resolve disputes between the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) and the states over who should pay for services provided to military dependents with disabilities.
