TRICARE
TRICARE is the Department of Defense’s premier health care program
serving 9.6 million active duty service members, retired service members,
National Guard and Reserve members, family members, and survivors

you need wherever you are.
TRICARE brings together military hospitals and clinics with a network of
civilian providers to offer you medical, pharmacy, and dental options that

assistance.
This handbook outlines the TRICARE program options that may be available to
you based on who you are, your location, and your entitlement to Medicare.

KEEP YOUR DEERS INFORMATION UP TO DATE
Eligibility for TRICARE is determined by the services and shown in the
Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). DEERS is
a database of service members and dependents worldwide who are

TRICARE COVERED SERVICES
This handbook describes the health care, dental, and pharmacy
options TRICARE offers. These options differ in terms of the
providers you see, how you get care, costs, and whether you file
claims. Generally, you have the same covered services, including
preventive, mental health, maternity, and pharmacy services, with
any TRICARE program option. Copayments or cost-shares may apply
for certain covered services depending on your program option and
beneficiary status. For a full list of covered services,
go to www.tricare.mil/coveredservices. For costs, go to
www.tricare.mil/costs.

Active Duty Separated from Service Retired
* TRICARE Prime is only available in Prime Service Areas (PSAs).
5
TRICARE Prime is a health care option for active duty service members (ADSMs),
retirees, family members, and certain others. It’s similar to a managed care or health
maintenance organization option, which means your access to specialty care is managed
by your primary care manager (PCM).
Other TRICARE Prime options include:
• TPR, a TRICARE Prime option for ADSMs living and working in remote locations
(outside of a PSA) and their family members.
• USFHP, a TRICARE Prime option where care is provided through networks of community-
based, not-for-profit health care systems in six areas of the United States. For more
information, go to www.tricare.mil/usfhp.
QUALIFYING FOR A TRICARE PRIME OPTION
To get TRICARE Prime, you must live in a PSA. You may also get TRICARE Prime
if you live within 100 miles of an available PCM and waive your drive-time access
standards. To find out if you live in an area where you can get TRICARE Prime, go to
www.tricare.mil/planfinder. For more information about drive-time access standards, go to
www.tricare.mil/primeaccess.
TPR is an option for ADSMs and active duty family members (ADFMs) living and working
in remote areas.
ENROLLING IN A TRICARE PRIME OPTION
You must take action to enroll in a TRICARE Prime option:
• ADSMs must use TRICARE Prime or TPR.
• ADFMs can choose to enroll in TRICARE Prime, TPR, USFHP, or TRICARE Select.
• Retirees and retiree family members may enroll in TRICARE Prime or USFHP. If neither
is available, you can enroll in TRICARE Select.
You can only enroll in or change enrollment to TRICARE Prime (if you live in a PSA)
following a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) or during the annual fall TRICARE Open Season.
You have three options to enroll in a TRICARE Prime program:
• Log in to milConnect at https://milconnect.dmdc.osd.mil and click on the “Manage
health benefits” button.
• Call your regional contractor.
• Submit a TRICARE Prime Enrollment, Disenrollment, and Primary Care Manager (PCM)
Change Form (DD Form 2876) to your regional contractor. You can find this form
at www.tricare.mil/forms.

child, or retirement from
active duty, which may mean
different TRICARE options
are available to you. A QLE
opens a 90-day period for
you to make eligible
enrollment changes. A QLE
for one family member
means all family members
may make enrollment
changes. To learn more, visit

member of a new ADSM,
a new family member of
a current ADSM, or your
military sponsor has been
called to active duty, you’ll
be automatically enrolled
in TRICARE Prime if you
live in a PSA. Otherwise,
ADFMs will be automatically
enrolled in TRICARE Select.
ADSMs must remain
enrolled in TRICARE Prime.
All others automatically
enrolled have up to 90 days
to change enrollment if
eligible for other TRICARE
plans. You may also be
eligible to enroll in the
USFHP if you live in an area
where the plan is offered.
HEALTH CARE OPTIONS

GETTING CARE WITH A TRICARE PRIME OPTION
When you enroll in a TRICARE Prime option, you’ll get most of your routine
care from an assigned or selected PCM. Your PCM may be:
• At a military hospital or clinic
• A civilian TRICARE network provider
• A primary care provider under USFHP
Referrals and pre-authorizations may be required for certain services. For
specific information, visit www.tricare.mil/appointments.
ENROLLMENT COSTS
ADSMs, ADFMs, and transitional survivors (surviving spouses during
the first three years and surviving dependent children) pay no enrollment
fees. Retirees, their families, and others pay yearly enrollment fees. For cost
details, go to www.tricare.mil/costs.
COSTS FOR COVERED CARE
ADSMs have no out-of-pocket costs for covered health care services from a PCM,
or with the appropriate referral and pre-authorization. ADFMs have no out-of-
pocket costs for covered health care services from a network provider in their
enrolled TRICARE region, or with the appropriate referral and pre-authorization.
Retirees pay copayments or cost-shares for covered health care services from
network providers in their enrolled TRICARE region. When following the
rules of the TRICARE Prime program option, out-of-pocket costs are limited
to the catastrophic cap amount for that calendar year (Jan. 1–Dec. 31). For
more information, see www.tricare.mil/costs.
SEEING A PROVIDER WITHOUT A REFERRAL:
THE POINT-OF-SERVICE OPTION
The point-of-service (POS) option allows non-ADSMs to see any TRICARE-
authorized provider without a referral. This means you pay more money
up front to get nonemergency health care from any TRICARE-authorized
provider without a referral. Costs you pay under the POS option don’t count
toward your yearly catastrophic cap. For more information,
go to www.tricare.mil/pointofservice.
HELPFUL TERMS
Referral
When your primary care
manager (PCM) sends
you to another provider
for care. If you have
TRICARE Prime and see
a provider other than your
PCM for nonemergency
care without a referral,
you will pay more. Certain
benets, such as the
Comprehensive Autism
Care Demonstration,
require a referral and
continued authorizations.
Pre-authorization
A review of a requested
health care service done by
your regional contractor to
see if the care will be
covered by TRICARE. Check
for services that need
pre-authorization by going to
www.tricare.mil or your
regional contractor’s website.
Catastrophic Cap
The most you or your
family will pay for covered
health care services each
calendar year.
Enrollment Fee
The yearly fee that retirees,
their families, and certain
others pay when enrolled
in TRICARE Prime or
TRICARE Select.
Calendar Year
A calendar year is Jan. 1–
Dec. 31.
77
TRICARE Select® Options
TRICARE Select is for TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries who aren’t able to, or choose not to,
enroll in a TRICARE Prime option and who aren’t entitled to Medicare (with the exception
of ADFMs). This program lets you manage your own health care and get care from any
TRICARE-authorized provider without a referral.
Like TRICARE Prime options, enrollment is required. ADSMs may not use TRICARE Select.
ENROLLING IN A TRICARE SELECT OPTION
You must take action to enroll in a TRICARE Select option:
• ADFMs, retirees, and retiree family members can choose to enroll in TRICARE Select.
You can only enroll in or change enrollment to TRICARE Select following a QLE or
during the annual fall TRICARE Open Season.
You have three options to enroll in TRICARE Select:
• Log in to milConnect at https://milconnect.dmdc.osd.mil and click on the “Manage
health benefits” button.
• Call your regional contractor.
• Submit a TRICARE Select Enrollment, Disenrollment and Change Form (DD Form 3043)
to your regional contractor. You can find this form at www.tricare.mil/forms.
For more information on enrollment, visit www.tricare.mil/enroll.
GETTING CARE WITH TRICARE SELECT
With TRICARE Select, you can get care from any TRICARE-authorized network provider
without a referral or pre-authorization, in most situations. You’ll have lower out-of-pocket
costs if you use a TRICARE-authorized network provider versus a TRICARE-authorized
non-network provider. If you choose a non-authorized non-network provider, you won’t be
reimbursed by TRICARE.
To find a TRICARE network provider, go to www.tricare.mil/findaprovider or call your
regional contractor.
HELPFUL TERMS
TRICARE-Authorized
Provider
A provider approved by
TRICARE to give health care
services to beneciaries.
A provider must be
TRICARE-authorized for
TRICARE to pay any part
of your claim.
Network Provider
A provider that has agreed
to accept the contracted
rate as payment in full for
covered health care
services and les claims
for you.
Non-Network Provider

with TRICARE Prime (who
aren’t ADSMs and ADFMs)
or TRICARE Select pay for a

or drug.
HEALTH CARE OPTIONS
8
ENROLLMENT COSTS
There is no yearly enrollment fee for ADFMs. Retirees, their families, and
others pay enrollment fees. For cost details, go to www.tricare.mil/costs.
COSTS FOR COVERED CARE
With TRICARE Select, you pay a yearly deductible and per-visit copayments
or cost-shares. You’ll fall into one of two groups based on when you or your
sponsor entered the uniformed services. This group will determine your
costs. When following the rules of your program option, your out-of-pocket
expenses will be limited to your catastrophic cap. Nonparticipating non-
network providers may charge up to 15% above the TRICARE-allowable
amount, which won’t apply to your catastrophic cap. You’re responsible for
this amount, plus your deductible and copayments or cost-shares. For costs,
go to www.tricare.mil/costs.
FILING CLAIMS
Submit claims to the regional contractor for the area where you live. In the U.S.
and U.S. territories (American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands,
Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands), claims must be filed within one
year of the date of service or date of inpatient discharge. You’re responsible
for confirming your claims are received. For assistance, call your regional
contractor.
INVITE YOUR PROVIDER TO BECOME TRICARE-
AUTHORIZED
If your provider isn’t TRICARE-authorized, but wants to see TRICARE
patients, tell your provider he or she can do so without signing a contract
with your regional contractor. Most providers with a valid professional
license (issued by a state or a qualified accreditation organization) can
become TRICARE-authorized and then TRICARE will pay them for covered
services. Go to www.tricare.mil/findaprovider and click “Learn more.”
HELPFUL TERMS
Yearly Deductible
A xed amount you pay for
covered services each
calendar year before TRICARE
pays anything. You may have
a deductible if you have
TRICARE Select or if you have
TRICARE Prime and see a
provider without a referral.
Claim
A request for payment from
TRICARE that goes to your
regional contractor after you
get a covered health care
service.

TRICARE Select Options (continued)
HELPFUL TERMS

health care plan you purchased.
Premiums apply to those using
TRICARE Reserve Select,

Premium-based health care plans that work like TRICARE Select with the same copayments
or cost-shares and a choice of providers can be purchased by those who qualify. These plans
include TRICARE Reserve Select (TRS), TRICARE Retired Reserve (TRR), and the Continued

Reserve or Retired Reserve members, their family members, and survivors. TRS and TRR

If you’re entitled to Medicare Part A, you generally must have Medicare Part B to keep TRICARE, regardless of
your age or where you live. This is a requirement based on federal law with an exception for ADSMs and ADFMs.
If you’re eligible for TRICARE and have Medicare Part A and Part B, you’re automatically covered by TFL. See
the following table for more information on what Medicare Part A, Part B, and TFL cover.

TRICARE FOR LIFE COSTS
There are no enrollment fees or forms for TFL, but you must have Medicare Part A and Part B. Medicare Part
B has a monthly premium. Go to www.medicare.gov for the current Part B premium amounts, which vary by
income level. For more information about TFL, go to www.tricare.mil/tfl. You may also call Wisconsin Physicians

TRICARE FOR LIFE AND U.S. DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS BENEFITS
If you’re eligible for both TFL and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits and choose to use your TFL
benefit for health care not related to a service-connected injury or illness, you’ll pay more to see a VA provider than
you would pay to see a civilian Medicare provider. TRICARE will only pay up to 20% of the TRICARE-allowable
amount for care you get at a VA facility and you may be responsible for the remaining amount.
With TFL, your least expensive option is to see a Medicare participating or Medicare non-participating provider.
Medicare participating providers agree to accept the Medicare-allowed amount as payment in full. Medicare
non-participating providers don’t accept the Medicare-allowed amount as payment in full and may charge up to
15% above the Medicare-allowed amount. This additional cost may be covered by TFL. If you get care from a VA
provider, check with WPS to confirm coverage details.

TRICARE offers other coverage options for those who have eligibility changes, such as children
aging out of regular TRICARE coverage or sponsors separating from service. If you’ve lost all
TRICARE eligibility, you may qualify to buy coverage under CHCBP, discussed below.
TRICARE YOUNG ADULT
TYA is a premium-based health care plan for qualified adult children who have aged out
of TRICARE. TYA Prime and TYA Select are offered worldwide. Your location and sponsor’s
status determine whether you qualify for TYA Prime and/or TYA Select.
TYA includes medical and pharmacy benefits, but not dental or vision coverage. Coverage,
provider choice, and costs for TYA are the same as for TRICARE Prime and TRICARE Select.
You may generally purchase TYA coverage if you’re an adult child of a TRICARE-
eligible sponsor; unmarried; at least age 21, but not yet age 26; and not otherwise eligible for
TRICARE or employer-based coverage. TRICARE Open Season doesn’t apply to TYA. TYA

TRANSITIONAL COVERAGE OPTIONS
TRICARE offers benefits to help certain service members and their families transition to
civilian life.

TAMP offers 180 days of premium-free health care after your sponsor separates from the
military. If you’re eligible, TAMP starts the day after the sponsor separates from service.
For more information, go to www.tricare.mil/tamp.
Continued Health Care Benefit Program
CHCBP is a premium-based health care program managed by Humana Military. CHCBP
offers continued health coverage (18–36 months) after TRICARE coverage ends. Certain
former spouses who haven’t remarried before age 55 may qualify for an unlimited duration
of coverage. If you qualify, you can purchase CHCBP coverage within 60 days of loss of
TRICARE or TAMP coverage, whichever is later. TRICARE Open Season doesn’t apply
