What is TRICARE?
TRICARE is a regionally managed health care program for active duty and retired members of the uniformed services, their families, and survivors. TRICARE brings together the health care resources of the Army, Navy and Air Force and supplements them with networks of civilian health care professionals to provide better access and high quality service while maintaining the capability to support military operations.
Who is Eligiable?
Active duty members and their families;
Retirees and their families; and
Survivors of all uniformed services who are not eligible for Medicare
TRICARE offers eligible beneficiaries three choices for their health care: click the links below for more info on your 3 choices
Tricare Prime
Tricare Extra
Tricare Standard
The main challenge for most eligible beneficiaries is deciding which TRICARE option, Prime, Extra or Standard, is best for them. Active Duty personnel are enrolled in TRICARE Prime and pay no fees. Active duty family members pay no enrollment fees, but they must choose a TRICARE option and apply for enrollment in TRICARE Prime. There are no enrollment fees for active duty families in TRICARE Prime.
