    TRICARE; off-label uses of devices; partial list of examples of unproven drugs, devices, medical treatments or procedures. Final rule.

    • Office of the Secretary, Department of Defense (DoD).
    • Fed Regist. 2012 Jun 27; 77 (124): 38177-8.

    AbstractThe Department of Defense is publishing this final rule to revise the definition of ``unlabeled or off-label drug'' to ``off-label use of a drug or device.'' This provision codifies the coverage of those medically necessary indications for which there are demonstrations from medical literature, national organizations, or technology assessment bodies that the off-label use is safe and effective and in accordance with nationally accepted standards of practice in the medical community. Additionally, this rule removes the partial list of examples of unproven drugs, devices, and medical treatments or procedures proscribed in TRICARE regulations. We are removing the partial list from the regulation but will maintain the partial list in the TRICARE Policy Manual at www.tricare.mil.
