Some Important Words of Caution
 
This booklet provides a summary of the Continued Health Care Benefit Program (CHCBP) and CHCBP policy as set forth in the TRICARE Policy Manual. Because medical benefits under this program are similar to TRICARE Standard benefits, and because CHCBP operates under most of the rules and procedures of the TRICARE Program, reference is made from time to time to content contained in the online TRICARE Beneficiary Handbook. The CHCBP Handbook is provided to you at time of enrollment or you may request this from Humana Military.
  However, it is important to note that these materials may not cover all of the details and special rules governing CHCBP or TRICARE. Moreover, certain rules may change over time.Therefore, if after reviewing the information contained in these materials, you have additional questions about benefits, financial responsibility, or claims procedures, please contact Humana Military at 1-800-444-5445.
 

For example, a physician’s (military or civilian) recommendation for a specific medical procedure or service does not address whether or not your CHCBP coverage will pay the medical bill. You—and not your physician—are responsible for determining CHCBP coverage and you must do so before receiving medical care or supplies. If you are uncertain about what CHCBP covers, immediately contact Humana Military at 1-800-444-5445.
 
 

Remember ...

Applicable Federal law and TRICARE regulations are the final word on any issue or dispute. If there is any difference between this booklet or what anybody tells you (including physicians) and the law and regulation, it’s the law and regulation that count legally.
