Sappers show what they’re made of CRESTVIEW — Plastic containers, wood and a few cellphone-sized batteries were spread out on some tables inside the National Guard Armory. What appeared to be trash actually were IEDs found by the Army National Guard’s 870th Engineer Company (Sapper). “These are what are costing American lives,” Spc. Dante Davis said. “If we don’t find it, someone else will. Someone else will pay the price.” The National Guard opened its doors Saturday for residents to check out the armory and learn more about the company does. The combat engineers returned in May from an 11-month deployment to Afghanistan, where they cleared roads of IEDs and other threats. At home, they oversee demolitions and respond to natural disasters. Seeing life in other countries gives you an appreciation of the United States, Davis said. Opening the roads not only helped the military but the people who live there. “We went into areas to

break the grip of the Taliban,” Davis said. A video full of photos of vehicles flipped over from blasts, soldiers hoisting guns on their soldiers and footage of IEDs exploding just ahead of military vehicles gave visitors a taste of what the guardsmen experienced. For the faint of heart and equipment enthusiasts, several vehicles were on display outside. Ryan Adams inspected a Crestview Fire Department truck with his 2-year-old son Ethan and 4-year-old daughter Isabella. “My son has a lot of toys like this and now he gets to climb in them,” Adams said.

New Army Training Network videos help with training management

Special to the Daily News The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission on Sept. 5 implemented a new recreational hunting and fishing license exemption for disabled veterans, active duty and reserve service members, immediate family members and their assistants. The exemption is valid for special events designed for the enjoyment or rehabilitation of military personnel and disabled veterans. The Legislature and Gov. Rick Scott approved the license exemption during the last legislative session at the FWC’s request. To qualify, special events must be to provide rehabilitation or enjoyment to participating disabled veterans or active or reserve duty military

FORT LEAVENWORTH, Kan. (CAC-T) — The Army’s primary website for training resources recently added eight short videos to improve unit training management throughout the force. Brig. Gen. Mike Lundy, deputy commanding general of the Combined Arms Center-Training, instructed the Army Training Network, known as the ATN, to develop the videos following post visits by Unit Training Management Mobile Training Teams. At several posts, the teams found that many Army trainers lacked important skills that the videos address. “For more than a decade, our Army has largely relied on top-down training management to prepare us for deployments to Iraq or Afghanistan,” said Lundy. “With [Operation Enduring Freedom] coming to closure, unit commanders will once again have the primary responsibility for fully developing their own training to develop agile and adaptive

personnel in any branch of the armed forces, Coast Guard or Florida National Guard. Immediate family members (parents, spouses and children) and one designated assistant are included in each event’s license and permit exemptions. Exemptions will last for the duration of the events. Established seasons, bag or slot limits, size restrictions and all other laws will still apply. The FWC commissioners have approved staff ’s recommendations for implementing the rule. The staff now will advertise the proposal and file for adoption as soon as possible, as allowed by Florida Statutes. For more information and to apply, visit MyFWC.com/License.

VA ‘outside care’ being fused under two networks provider networks across all six VA medical regions, taking three apiece. Health Net, the current TRICARE support contractor for military beneficiaries in that system’s North Region, will be responsible for VA regions that span the New England states, the Northern Midwest states and all Eastern seaboard states down through Florida and Alabama.  Health Net’s combined regional contracts are valued at $5 billion. TriWest, which supported a provider network across the TRICARE West Region until last April, landed VA

Tom Philpott

contracts worth $4.4 billion to provide networks of mental health and specialty care in Western states, including Alaska, Hawaii, and all South Central states from Texas to Mississippi. State borders don’t neatly define VA’s six regions, so Health Net will have responsibility for 38 states or parts of states as well as Puerto Rico.  TriWest will provide non-VA provider networks for 28 states or parts of states as well as U.S. territories in the Pacific. Today, when VA facilities lack capacity to provide care in house, patients are referred to private sector care under different purchased care mechanisms, including local contracts, sharing agreements and medical care authorizations.  This is viewed as inefficient.

Future referrals will be consolidated under PC3 contracts so veterans see more coordinated and timely access to comprehensive networks of providers, all of them screened to meet uniform VA quality standards. The contractors will provide inpatient and outpatient specialty care and mental health care services when local VA medical centers cannot, either because VA specialists aren’t available except after long waits for appointments or because veterans live far from the nearest VA facilities. The new networks must screen providers to meet or exceed VA standards for credentialing, licensing and specialty care requirements.  They must establish customer service and complaint procedures, and they must see patients

within a specified period and be geographically convenient.  Also, medical files generated by network specialists must be shared with VA promptly to ensure that all VA care is closely monitored and coordinated. The Veterans Health Administration has conducted a pilot program of non-VA provider networks since 2009 called Project Hero.  It involves only four of 56 VISNs (Veteran Integrated Service Networks).  Through 2012, it reportedly saved VHA $27 million by more effectively purchasing care from private sector specialists using pre-negotiated rates. The PC3 contracts will take six months to implement starting next month. Networks are to be operating across the country by April 2014.

Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., has pushed for TRICARElike provider networks for VA patients since he became chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee in 2011, noting how far veterans in his district have to travel to get VA care even with many quality providers available locally. Some veteran service organizations have worried that a big shift to private sector care, over time, will dilute VA medical expertise and also impact continuity of care being delivered to veterans having multiple medical conditions. VHA officials said they heard these concerns during meetings with stakeholders last year and they helped to shape final design of the contracts.

Veterans should see more timely access to mental health providers and other civilian medical specialists under a new Patient Centered Community Care (PC3) initiative, which the Department of Veterans Affairs will phase in across the country over the next six months. The initiative is centered on two five-year contracts worth a combined $9.3 billion and awarded Tuesday to separate health management companies tasked with consolidating and standardizing quality of providers that veterans are referred to when the VA can’t deliver in-house care in a timely way. Health Net Federal Services LLC of Arlington, Va., and TriWest Healthcare Alliance Corp. of Phoenix will establish vast non-VA

VA From page 6 including mental health treatments for veterans with post-traumatic stress, McIntyre said. “The first step for the VA is much like it was for DoD when they started doing TRICARE.  That is, to buy care on an efficient and effective basis across a broad geographic space (and) from one entity that can provide what they need,” said McIntyre. It will take awhile for VA to figure out its demand for civilian health care and what volume of care should be bought through these networks for maximum quality and efficiency, he added.  “But this gives them the ability, like DoD has, to turn on the spigot pretty quickly if they need to,” said McIntyre.  “I hold to the same philosophy I have held for 18 years” operating provider networks for military beneficiaries, McIntyre said.  “That is, the government should determine where government resources, taxpayer dollars, optimally are used.  And if there’s enough demand, the

VA does buy care “in the marketplace right now.  They just don’t do it on a consolidated basis.  And that’s what this is going to give them,” he said.

Joseph Violante, legislative director of Disabled American Veterans, said his organization wants VA to ensure all enrolled veterans get “quality medical care when they need it and in the appropriate setting.” That will require VA closely managing any care provided, including, as circumstances warrant, care delivered in the private sector, he said. “DAV would be concerned if VA merely sent veterans out into the private sector without overseeing and managing the medical care to ensure veterans’ needs are being met,” said Violante. David J. McIntyre Jr., chief executive officer and president of TriWest, recalled in a phone interview how the military came to rely more heavily on TRICARE support contractors during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars when so many providers in the direct care system had to be deployed. The new non-VA provider networks will give VA the same sort of flexibility to respond to gaps in timely care,
