FALLS CHURCH, Va. – Are you looking for information and tools to help manage your health care and TRICARE benefit? Check out the new Patient Resources section on tricare.mil. This section makes it easy to find forms, track your health records, learn about disaster alerts, and more.
“We understand that you need quick and easy access to essential health care information,” said Robert Agnello, deputy director of digital communications at the Defense Health Agency. “The new Patient Resources section has tools and resources you need to stay engaged with and manage your health care in one convenient location.”
Here’s an overview of what you can find in the Patient Resources section.
Claims
In the Filing Claims section, you can learn when and how to file medical, pharmacy, and dental claims. As noted in the TRICARE Choices in the United States Handbook, you may need to file your own claim to be reimbursed if you get care from a non-network provider. TRICARE will reimburse you for covered services at the TRICARE allowable amount. This amount won’t include any copayments, cost-shares, or deductibles.
Forms
Need to find a form? The Download a Form section has many commonly used forms, including forms for:
• Enrolling and disenrolling in a TRICARE health or dental plan
• Requesting pre-authorization or medical necessity
• Requesting reimbursement through the Prime Travel Benefit
• Filing grievances and submitting appeals
