Humana Military Healthcare Services Unveils Online Educational Videos for National Guard and Reserve Members
TRICARE Educational Briefings Available for Activated Guard/Reserve Members and Families
 LOUISVILLE, KY — March 20, 2008—Humana Military Healthcare Services (HMHS) announced today an additional online resource available for National Guard and Reserve members. The newly added resource, a series of educational briefings accessible from the internet, explains TRICARE benefits for activated Guard and Reserve members and their families. Topics include; an overview of TRICARE, inactive duty status, benefits during pre-activation and activation periods, TRICARE for family members, TRICARE Reserve Select, and behavioral healthcare services.
“Guard and Reserve members have unique circumstances as a result of their activation status - they can be serving only on the weekends, then activated for duty within a short amount of time. As a result, their eligibility for healthcare coverage can change quickly,” said Dave Baker, president and CEO of HMHS. “Humana Military wants to provide these brave men, women and their families easily accessible information available day or night. It’s a great introduction to the TRICARE system,” said Baker.
