Organization
TRICARE is managed by the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA), a field activity of the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. The TMA manages the TRICARE budget, executes TRICARE policies and oversees the entire TRICARE health program.
TMA is organized into four geographic health service regions: North, South, West and Overseas. The Overseas Region is also divided into three areas: Eurasia Africa, Latin America & Canada and Pacific. Each U.S. region and Overseas Area has its own TRICARE Regional/Area Office and Regional/Area Director. Each region/area:
- Provides oversight of regional operations and health plan administration at the regional level;
- Manages the contracts with regional contractors;
- Supports military treatment facility (MTF) Commanders;
- Develops business plans for non-MTF areas (e.g. remote areas); and
- Funds regional initiatives to optimize and improve delivery of health care.
TMA has partnered with regional contractors in each region (North, South, West and Overseas) to provide health care services and support to beneficiaries. Learn more about each region by clicking on the links below:
Military Health System
TRICARE, and everyone who works for TRICARE, is part of the Military Health System (MHS), the fully integrated health care system of the Department of Defense. The MHS includes every facet that is used to provide health care, such as medical personnel, facilities, programs, funding and other resources.
