Become a Certified Non-network Provider
Non-Network Providers, commonly referred to as TRICARE Standard (Certified) Providers, do not have a contractual relationship with the regional contractors, but they must be certified to provide care to TRICARE beneficiaries.
To be certified, you must be a facility, doctor or other healthcare professional that meets the licensing and certification requirements of TRICARE regulations and practices for your area of healthcare.
Once you are certified, you may or may not agree to "accept assignment" - that is, accept the TRICARE maximum allowable charge as payment in full for services. If you don't agree, then you are considered authorized, non-participating providers. You may elect to accept assignment on a claim-by-claim basis.
If you want to become a TRICARE Standard (Certified) provider, please complete the appropriate Standard provider certification documents on for your region and mail or fax them to the address on the form.
