Find an Atlanta Provider Find a Tampa Provider

You can only get health care at a military hospital or clinic in an emergency. You won’t be able to use the Humana Military provider network. You also won’t be able to use the Military Health System Nurse Advice Line—CSMV has its own nurse advice line.

Prescriptions: You’ll still fill your prescriptions through the TRICARE Pharmacy Program. This means you can still use military pharmacies, TRICARE Pharmacy Home Delivery, and TRICARE retail network pharmacies.

You can enroll during TRICARE Open Season, which runs from Nov. 10 to Dec. 9, 2025. Your coverage starts on Jan. 1, 2026.
