Prior or Iraq war, all Active Duty and retired officers were charged. In FY06 this charge was suspended; the suspension was recently extended through FY07 Prior to the suspension of the charge, MSA automatically calculated the SR charges from the date of admission to the day prior to discharge, creating a one-day charge if the patient was admitted and discharged on the same day The Subsistence charge may still be applied to Secretary Designee patients. If designated in the Secretary Designee letter, MSA will calculate the appropriate charge based on the PATCAT assigned
