What TRICARE plan are you likely enrolled in while stationed at a stateside military treatment facility?

When stationed at a stateside military treatment facility, the most common plan you are likely enrolled in is TRICARE Prime. This plan is designed to provide comprehensive health care coverage to active duty service members, their families, and certain eligible retirees. Under TRICARE Prime, beneficiaries receive care primarily through a designated primary care manager (PCM) at a military treatment facility (MTF).

One of the key benefits of TRICARE Prime is that it emphasizes the use of military treatment facilities, which often provide care at no cost for active duty service members and low-cost options for their families. This focus on MTFs helps ensure that service members and their families have immediate access to the care they need while on military installations.

While other options like TRICARE Select, TRICARE Reserve Select, and TRICARE for Life serve specific populations or have different enrollment characteristics, TRICARE Prime stands out as the plan most associated with active duty personnel receiving care within military facilities. This makes it the appropriate choice for individuals stationed stateside.
