Supplemental Health Care Program
|
The Supplemental Health Care Program (SHCP) offers benefits for healthcare services provided by civilian doctors. Active duty service members whose duty assignment is within 50 miles of a Military Treatment Facility (MTF) may be eligible for care under SHCP.
SHCP benefits are available to:
- Active duty service members (except those enrolled in TRICARE Prime Remote)
- MTF inpatients referred for civilian healthcare when the MTF retains responsibility for the patient
SHCP covers authorized healthcare for:
Participants in the Comprehensive Clinical Evaluation Program (CCEP) with authorization by the MTF Reserve component personnel ROTC students, cadets and midshipmen Foreign military
SHCP covers any healthcare service as long as the MTF refers the patient or the military Service Point-of-Contact (SPOC) authorizes the care. For covered services, active duty service members DO NOT pay:
Cost-shares Copayments Annual deductibles
The SPOC also acts as a liaison between the active duty service member and all members of the healthcare process, from the civilian healthcare professional to the claims processor. |
