TRICARE For Life
In the U.S. or U.S. Territories
You can schedule an appointment with any TRICARE-authorized provider but finding a Medicare participating provider is your best option. You will need your Medicare card and uniformed services ID card when you go to your appointment.
After your appointment:
- Your provider files the claim with Medicare.
- Medicare pays the provider and sends the remaining amount electronically to TRICARE.
- TRICARE pays the remaining amount to the provider; you pay nothing out-of-pocket.
- You receive an explanation of benefits from Medicare and TRICARE.
