TRICARE Standard and TRICARE Extra are available to all TRICARE-eligible beneficiaries except ADSMs. Beneficiaries are responsible for fiscal year deductibles and cost-shares. Beneficiaries may see any TRICARE-authorized provider they choose, and TRICARE will share the cost of covered services with the beneficiaries after deductibles are met.

TRICARE Standard is a fee-for-service option. Beneficiaries may seek care from any TRICARE-authorized provider.

TRICARE Extra is a preferred provider option. Beneficiaries choose a doctor, hospital, or other medical provider within the TRICARE provider network. By choosing a network provider, the beneficiary’s out-of-pocket costs are reduced. For specific inpatient cost-shares, visit the TRICARE web site.
