The Doctor Is In...

A small itch can be irritating, but a big itch can be downright painful. August is Psoriasis Awareness Month, and TRICARE wants to make sure you know about the symptoms and treatment of this disease.
 

Save Time and Money with the TRICARE Mail Order Pharmacy Program

Did you know that filling your prescription can be as quick and easy as picking up your mail? With the TRICARE Mail Order Program, you pay the same copayment you’re used to at the retail pharmacy, but you get a 90-day supply rather than a 30-day supply.
          

It's Time for School Physicals

Summer is still in full swing, but the first day of school will be here before you know it.  TRICARE Prime covers required back-to-school physicals for children ages 5–11 years as a clinical preventive service.
         

New Address? Action Required!

If you move within the TRICARE South Region, your TRICARE Prime coverage may easily be transferred to primary care managers (PCMs) within the region, but you will need to take action to ensure continuous coverage is maintained.
     

Reminder: Enroll Newborns within 60 Days

If you are a new parent, please remember there are two important steps you must take within 60 days from the date of birth or adoption to have continuous TRICARE Prime coverage for your newborn or newly adopted child.
