Dear TRICARE Prime Member:

Your decision to enroll in TRICARE Prime was an important one. To make the best use of your benefits, read this TRICARE Prime Handbook. If you have questions about your benefit after reading this handbook, there are many resources available to help you.

With TRICARE Prime, you will receive most of your care from an assigned primary care manager (PCM). Your PCM can be either a military treatment facility (MTF) provider or a civilian TRICARE network provider. We will discuss your PCM and other provider types later in this handbook.

A TRICARE Prime enrollment card and letter have been, or will be, mailed to you. Write your PCM’s name and telephone number on your enrollment card and refer to this information when you need to make an appointment.
