Getting Care in Canada

Are you an active duty service member or a command-sponsored family member stationed in Canada? Are you enrolled in TRICARE Prime Remote Overseas? International SOS doesn’t develop a TRICARE network in Canada. Here’s how to get care in Canada:

  • Complete a foreign service application through your supporting Canadian Forces Health Services Centre.
  • You’ll then receive a Blue Cross of Canada card.

  • You’ll get outpatient and inpatient medical services at their CF Health Services Centre.

What if there’s no access or capability in the CF Health Services Centre?

  • If so, the CF Health Services Centre will refer you or your family to the Canadian network to get care with your Blue Cross card.
  • If the capability or requirements can’t be met in the Canadian network, contact International SOS for help.

This program is only available in Canada. Learn more about getting care in Canada.

Providers in the Philippines

There are two provider types in the Philippines:

  • Philippine Preferred Provider Network providers
  • Certified providers

If you live or travel in the Philippines, you must see a PPN provider or a certified provider for your medical care. You’re encouraged to visit PPN providers if you’re enrolled in:

  • TRICARE Prime Overseas
  • TRICARE Prime Remote Overseas
  • TRICARE Select Overseas

Your out-of-pocket costs are lower when you use a PPN provider. If you see a PPN provider, you’ll fill out an agreement to pay applicable cost-shares and deductibles. This will happen at your visit.

To find a PPN provider or certified provider in the Philippines:

Don’t speak the language?

Most military hospitals and clinics overseas have patient liaisons who can help you. Patient liaisons:

  • Can help you navigate any overseas healthcare system where you’re getting care
  • Speak English and the host nation language
  • Can provide guidance and answer your questions
