- Active duty family members
- Retired service members and their families*
- Family members of Activated National Guard/Reserve members

Availability
You must live in the one of the designated US Family Health Plan service areas to enroll.
Getting Care
When you enroll in the US Family Health Plan, you will not access Medicare providers, military hospitals and clinics or TRICARE network providers, but instead receive your care (including prescription drug coverage) from a primary care physician that you select from a network of private physicians affiliated with one of the not-for-profit health care systems offering the plan. Your primary care physician assists you in getting appointments with specialists in the area and coordinates your care.
Out-of-Pocket Costs
Active duty family members pay no enrollment fees and no out-of-pocket costs for any type of care as long as care is received from the US Family Health Plan provider. All other beneficiaries pay annual enrollment fees and network copayments. >>Learn More
