TRICARE NOTE

What is my priority for being offered enrollment in TRICARE Prime? 

1) active duty will be automatically enrolled and receive most of their care in the MTF;
2) active duty family members may voluntarily enroll and will be primarily accommodated within the MTF; 
3) retirees and their family members and survivors may voluntarily enroll.

If the MTF has reached capacity, everyone wishing to enroll in Prime will be referred to the network providers. Patients who are Active Duty Military or who are enrolled in TriCare Prime have priority. All other patients are scheduled on "space available."

For more TRICARE info, visit our TRICARE Page.
