Sec. 728.91  General.


    Adjuncts to medical care include but are not limited to prosthetic 
devices such as artificial limbs, artificial eyes, hearing aids, 
orthopedic footwear, spectacles, wheel chairs, hospital beds, and 
similar medical support items or aids which are required for the proper 
care and management of the condition being treated. Generally, expenses 
incurred for procurement of such items, either from civilian sources as 
supplemental care or from stocks maintained by the facility, are payable 
from operation and maintenance funds available for support of naval 
MTFs. However, certain adjuncts may be cost-shared under CHAMPUS for 
CHAMPUS-eligible individuals under circumstances enumerated in the 
cooperative care or services criteria of Sec. 728.4(z).
