WASHINGTON — TriWest Healthcare Alliance, which runs the Pentagon’s TRICARE health program in the western United States, has hired Ballard Partners, with former senior Pentagon official Jimmy Sapp among the lobbyists on the account, according to a registration filed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act.
The filing, posted the afternoon of Nov. 9, says Ballard will provide “advocacy regarding service member health care and advising on DOW policy,” a reference to the Department of War. It lists three lobbyists: founder Brian Ballard, Sapp and Thomas Boodry, a former legislative assistant to Sen. Marco Rubio.
