How it Works

You'll get all care (including prescription drug coverage) from a primary care provider that you select from the network of private physicians affiliated with one of the not-for-profit health care systems listed above. Your primary care provider assists you in getting appointments with specialists in the area and coordinates your care.

You won't get care at military hospitals and clinics or from TRICARE network providers when enrolled in the US Family Health Plan.

What You Pay

Active duty family members pay no enrollment fees and no out-of-pocket costs for any type of care as long as care is received from the US Family Health Plan provider. All others pay annual enrollment fees and network copayments. >>Learn more.
