Which statement is not a function of the BCAC?

• A. Coordinate appropriate issues with Military Health System (MHS) and Defense Health Agency (DHA)
• B. Describe or seek clarification on eligibility
• C. Respond to beneficiary, leadership and congressional inquiries
• D. File claims for beneficiaries

Answer: (D)

BCACs act as beneficiary advocates who guide people through the system, answer questions about benefits, and coordinate with the Military Health System and Defense Health Agency. They help describe or seek clarification on eligibility and respond to inquiries from beneficiaries, leadership, and Congress. They don’t handle financial transactions or process claims. Filing claims for beneficiaries is managed through the TRICARE claims system or by providers, not by the BCAC. So, the statement about filing claims does not fit the BCAC role.
