TRICARE is the Department of Defense (DoD) health care program for active duty and retired members of the uniformed services, their families, and survivors. TRICARE’s primary objectives are to optimize the delivery of health care services in military treatment facilities (MTFs) and attain the highest level of beneficiary satisfaction through the delivery of a world class health care benefit. TRICARE brings together the health care resources of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, and enhances their services with networks of civilian health care professionals.
TRICARE’s vision is to provide a world-class health system that meets all wartime and peacetime health care needs for the active duty and retired military and their families. TRICARE is available worldwide to all eligible beneficiaries. The TRICARE program continues to evolve with the ever-changing needs of the uniformed services, both active and reserve components. Each year, improvements are made that make this strong program even better.
