Treating Out-of-Area TRICARE Beneficiaries

With summer just around the corner, you may find yourself either treating a vacationing TRICARE beneficiary from another TRICARE region, or advising one of your own TRICARE beneficiaries on how to access out-of-area care.

From the Desk of the CMO

Today, physicians are challenged to provide care to an increasingly diverse patient audience.  Both providers and consumers bring their individual learned patterns of language and culture to health care, and must transcend those differences to achieve equal access and quality health care.

Suicide Awareness

The true tragedy of suicide is the devastatingly painful emotional state—often caused by depression— that leads a person to consider and then attempt the act. Suicide does not have just one victim. The pain and suffering resonates deeply with the family and friends of the deceased.

Promoting Inpatient Obstetrics Care Satisfaction

TRICARE beneficiary satisfaction surveys are conducted regularly by the government to determine how satisfied our beneficiaries are with the inpatient and outpatient medical services rendered by network providers.
