Getting Care
When enrolled, you have an assigned primary care manager (PCM) at a military treatment facility (MTF) who provides most of your care. Your PCM will refer you to a specialist for care he or she cannot provide and coordinate with the overseas contractor, International SOS, for authorization when needed.
Out-of-Pocket Costs
There are no enrollment fees and no out-of-pocket costs for any type of care as long as care is received from your PCM or with a referral. Care received without a referral is subject to point-of-service fees. >>Learn More
