What is a Designated Provider? 
(Article 5)

Designated Providers are facilities specifically
contracted with the Department of Defense to provide

care to beneficiaries enrolled in the U.S. Family Health

 Plan. The U.S. Family Health Plan is offered in six

 geographic regions in the United States. Although

providing the TRICARE Prime benefit, U.S. Family

Health Plan is a separately funded program different

 than the TRICARE plan administered by Humana

Military. The Designated Provider is at full risk for

all medical care for a U.S. Family Health Plan

enrollee, including pharmacy services, primary

 care, and specialty care.

If care is provided to a U.S. Family Health Plan

 enrollee outside the network because they are

traveling or in an emergency situation, claims

must be filed with the appropriate Designated

Provider at one of the addresses listed in the

 table. Do not file U.S. Family Health Plan claims

 with Humana Military.

For additional questions about the U.S. Family Health

Plan, please visit the U.S. Family Health Plan Web site.
