Using TRICARE Reserve Select

Step 1: Find a Doctor

You can visit any TRICARE-authorized provider :

• Find a network provider.
• Find a non-network provider.
• Find an overseas provider.
• Find a military hospital or clinic (if space is available).

The type of provider you choose determines:

• Your out-of-pocket costs 
• If you have to file your own claims

Step 2: Make an Appointment

• Schedule an appointment with any provider. Learn about your rules for booking an appointment.
• Go to your appointment.
• Schedule follow-ups at your convenience.

Step 3: Pay for the Care

• If you visit a network provider, you’ll only need to pay your cost-share at the time of the appointment (after you meet your annual deductible).
• If you visit a non-network provider, you may have to pay in full up front and file a claim for reimbursement.
• If you visit a military hospital or clinic, your cost is nothing, except a nominal fee for inpatient care.
