How to File a TRICARE Claim
If you receive services from an MTF or network provider, you will not be required to submit your own claims. TRICARE Standard beneficiaries who receive services from a TRICARE authorized, non-network provider may be required to submit their own claims. There may be other situations where a beneficiary may need to submit his or her own paper claim.
In order for a beneficiary to file a claim, a DD Form 2642 (“CHAMPUS Claim—Patient’s Request for Medical Payment”) must be submitted. Instructions on completing the DD Form 2642 are on the first page of the claim form. Be sure to attach a copy of the provider’s itemized bill to the claim form. The itemized bill must contain the following information:
 

1.Doctor’s or provider’s name/address (the one that actually provided your care). If there is more than one provider on the bill, circle his or her name.
2.Date of each service
3.Place of each service
4.Description of each surgical or medical service or supply furnished
5.Charge for each service
6.The diagnosis should be included on the bill. If not, make sure that you’ve completed block 8a on the DD Form 2642.

Mail your claim to the following address:

TRICARE South Region
Claims Department
P.O. Box 7031
Camden, SC 29020-7031
