Who can get care at a military hospital or clinic?
All beneficiaries eligible for TRICARE can get care at military hospitals and clinics. The priority for getting appointments is:
- Active duty service members
- TRICARE Prime enrollees
- TRICARE Young Adult-Prime Option enrollees
- TRICARE Plus enrollees
All others (including dependent parents and parents-in-law) can get care only if space is available. Visit the Types of Military Facilities page to learn more about military hospitals and clinics.
To find a military hospital or clinic in the U.S. or overseas, use the Military Hospital or Clinic Locator. Call first to see if you can make an appointment.
