TRICARE Prime beneficiaries living in the South Region receive affordable, comprehensive health care coverage, with fewer out-of-pocket costs than other TRICARE program options. In addition to features such as enhanced vision and preventive care coverage, priority access to care at military treatment facilities, assigned primary care managers and few, if any, claims to file, TRICARE Prime beneficiaries may pay their annual enrollment fee in monthly installments rather than making quarterly or annual payments.
Your TRICARE Prime monthly enrollment fee installments may be paid via one of the following options:
The
allotment from retired pay option deducts monthly payments directly from your retirement pay. It is the best monthly payment option as it frees you from the worry of missing a payment. Enrollment in this option is quick and easy. All you need to do is complete an
Enrollment Fee Allotment Authorization Letter and submit it to Humana Military Healthcare Services, Inc. (Humana Military).
Alternatively, you may elect the
EFT option. After completing the one-time
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Authorization Form, TRICARE Prime monthly enrollment payments are automatically deducted from your bank account of choice.
There are several benefits to paying your TRICARE Prime enrollment fee using one of these monthly options. Benefits include:
-
No billing statements because deductions are automated, eliminating the need for postage stamps or trips to a TRICARE Service Center to submit payments
-
Smaller monthly payment amounts (versus one large annual payment), making it easier to budget your TRICARE Prime enrollment fees
-
Automated payments, making it impossible to forget to submit a payment and thereby reducing your risk of disenrollment
If you choose to pay quarterly or annually, there are two convenient options:
The
online payment option allows you to pay your enrollment fee in quarterly or annual installments online using a credit or debit card.
Finally, the new
pay-by-phone option enables you to pay over the phone using Humana Military’s IVR system. Using the automated express service menu, you may pay over the phone by credit card 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and may also request information and forms to set up future automatic monthly payments. To pay by phone or to request additional information, call Humana Military at 1-800-444-5445.
