Coverage and Getting Care
|
What's Covered?
Detailed information about TRICARE-covered services is available on the TRICARE Web Site. If you are unable to find the information you need or if you are uncertain about the meaning of statements made, you may contact Humana Military for further clarification.
If you purchase this conversion health care plan, CHCBP may entitle you to coverage for preexisting conditions not covered by a new employer’s benefit plan.
Where to Get Care
A “provider” is the person, business, or institution that provides health care. For example, a doctor is a provider. A hospital is a provider. An ambulance company is a provider. There are many other types of providers.
Remember ...
CHCBP can help pay for covered services, but only from TRICARE-authorized providers.
In addition to “provider type” being authorized, individual providers must also be certified by TRICARE. This usually means the providers are licensed in their state, and are TRICARE certified. If a provider is not certified, CHCBP cannot help pay for care from that provider. Most hospitals and many physicians are already authorized by TRICARE, but it is a good idea to check first. The hospital’s physicians referral service agrees to accept the TRICARE allowable charge as payment in full. Check with Humana Military if you are unsure if your provider is TRICARE-authorized.
Remember ...
CHCBP enrollees may not utilize Department of Defense (DoD) military treatment facilities (MTFs) except on an emergency basis. Nonemergency care at an MTF is not authorized.
