Become a TRICARE Provider

TRICARE is the health care program for uniformed sevice members, their families, and survivors.

TRICARE uses military treatment facilities (also known as direct care) as the main delivery system and augments direct care with a network of civilian providers and facilities to provide timely access and high quality service while maintaining the capability to support military operations.

The program is available worldwide and managed regionally in six separate TRICARE regions jointly by the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) and TRICARE Regional Offices:

• North
• South
• West
  • To become a West Region provider under the current contract with TriWest, visit www.triwest.com
  • To become a West Region provider under the new health care contract with UnitedHealthCare beginning April 1, 2013, view Frequently Asked Questions for Providers.
• Eurasia-Africa
• Latin America & Canada
• Pacific

On behalf of the Department of Defense, the men and women of our Armed Forces and their families, as well as our retired families, we want thank you for your desire to become a network provider. Becoming a network provider brings with it a higher volume of patients as network providers are placed on the worldwide referral list for all TRICARE beneficiaries.
