SPA Service Delivery ToolkitJanuary 2018: TRICARE Changes Update
Effective January 2018, several changes have been made to the TRICARE benefit that affect our Service Members and their eligible dependents. The Program Office has asked that our MFLCs become educated on these changes to ensure the effectiveness and accuracy of our referral process where it pertains to TRICARE. To aide in MFLC education of these updates, the Program Office has provided three fact sheets detailing the changes which are posted directly below:
2) Take Command, Enhance Your TRICARE Experience: Updates to TRICARE Reimbursement Manual Annex and
3) TRICARE Cost and Fees Sheet.
After reviewing the materials, if you have additional questions, please visit www.tricare.mil/changes. This website provides the most current information and is designed to help beneficiaries prepare for, navigate and Take Command of their TRICARE benefit.
