Tricare Extra
You do not have to enroll or pay an annual fee to participate in Tricare Extra. You do, however, have to satisfy an annual deductible for outpatient care, just as you do under Tricare Standard. In the Tricare Extra program, you receive discounts on cost sharing when you use a Tricare Extra network provider. You do not have to file your own claims, and may use Tricare Extra on a case-by-case basis just by using the network provider. Tricare Extra is not available overseas. Refer to the Information section to find out how to get details on deductibles and cost sharing through Tricare.
Tricare Standard
Tricare Standard is what was once called the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS). Tricare Standard shares most of the costs of care from civilian hospitals and doctors when you don’t get care through a uniformed services hospital or clinic. But there are certain important things you need to know about Tricare Standard before using it, such as the fact that it is not free, it does not cover all health care, it pays for only medically necessary health care and your provider must be certified by the regional contractor as an authorized provider of care.
Pharmacy Benefits
Tricare beneficiaries have three options for filling prescriptions:
A military treatment facility
A Tricare retail network pharmacy
The Tricare Mail Order Pharmacy (TMOP)
Tricare for Life (over 65)
Tricare for Life (TFL) is an enhanced health care benefit for Medicare-eligible uniformed services beneficiaries, their eligible family members and survivors. Some key features of TFL are: you must be enrolled in Medicare Part B, Tricare pays second to Medicare and you will incur no monthly premiums (except for Medicare Part B). For additional information call (888) DOD-LIFE, or visit
www.tricare.osd.mil
. Tricare Plus is a health care program for selected seniors and other eligible beneficiaries that provide access to Primary Care Managers at participating Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs). Availability of the program is based on the space and resources in individual MTFs, and is at the discretion of the MTF Commander. WRNMMC is proud to be a participating Tricare Plus MTF. The Tricare Plus Program at WRNMMC features the same high access standards as for primary care: Urgent and Acute Care appointments within 24 hours, and routine care appointments within 7 days. Furthermore, Tricare Plus patients are provided specialty care on a space-available basis within the Military Health System. Tricare Senior Pharmacy Benefit provides Medicare-eligible retirees of the uniformed services, their family members and survivors the same pharmacy benefit as retirees who are under age 65. It includes access to prescription drugs not only at military treatment facilities, but also at retail pharmacies and through the Tricare Mail Order Pharmacy program. Contact the Tricare information specialists referred to in the Information section for detailed information on eligibility.
