Getting Care
Schedule an appointment with any overseas provider. You will never need a referral for any type of care (routine, urgent or specialty) but you may need to have prior authorization from the overseas contractor for some types of services.
Out-of-Pocket Costs
Costs vary based on the sponsor's military status. After you've met an annual deductible, you're responsible to pay a cost share (or percentage). >>Learn More

Is TRICARE Standard Overseas Right for You?
TRICARE Standard Overseas may be your only option when you live overseas. If you're an active duty family member, you'll save money and have priority for care if you enroll in either TRICARE Prime Overseas or TRICARE Prime Remote Overseas. Be sure to get command-sponsored so you have the option.
