TRICARE and Humana Military
      

TRICARE is the uniformed services* health care program for active duty service members (ADSMs) and their families, retired service members and their families, members of the National Guard and Reserve and their families, survivors, and others who are eligible. TRICARE’s primary objectives are to optimize the delivery of health care services in the direct care system for all Military Health System (MHS) beneficiaries and attain the highest level of patient satisfaction through the delivery of a world-class health care benefit.

TRICARE brings together the health care resources of the uniformed services and supplements them with networks of civilian health care professionals, institutions, pharmacies, and suppliers to provide timely access and high-quality health care services, while maintaining the capability to support military operations.

TRICARE is managed regionally in three separate TRICARE regions in the United States—TRICARE North, TRICARE South, and TRICARE West—and one overseas region divided into three areas—TRICARE Europe, TRICARE Pacific, and TRICARE Latin America and Canada. In the United States, TRICARE is managed jointly by the TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) and TRICARE Regional Offices. TMA has partnered with civilian managed care support contractors in the North, South, and West regions to assist TRICARE regional directors and military treatment facility (MTF) commanders in operating an integrated health care delivery system by combining the resources of the military’s direct medical care system and the contractors’ health services to provide health, medical, and administrative support services to eligible beneficiaries.

Humana Military Healthcare Services, Inc. (Humana Military) is responsible for administering the TRICARE program for more than 2.8 million TRICARE beneficiaries in the TRICARE South Region. The South Region includes Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee (excluding the Fort Campbell area), and a major portion of Texas (excluding the El Paso area).

Humana Military is committed to preserving the integrity, flexibility, and durability of the MHS by offering beneficiaries access to the finest health care services available, thereby contributing to the continued superiority of U.S. combat readiness.
