COVID Guidance

What to do if you're a TRICARE beneficiary

Simple measures can protect you and your community. It's still important to follow CDC guidelines to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The more steps you and your family can take to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the safer you'll be. It’s also important to identify the symptoms of COVID-19 and know when to seek help.

COVID-19 affects people in different ways. Infected people have reported a wide range of symptoms–from mild symptoms to severe illness. Do you think you may have COVID-19?  Use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Coronavirus Self-Checker.

 

If you think you have COVID-19, try one of the new Test to Treat locations for:

  • Free COVID-19 testing, and
  • Get a prescription for a COVID-19 oral antiviral treatment

Find your closest Test to Treat location.

TRICARE covers the use of investigational drugs for the treatment of serious or life-threatening cases of COVID-19. These drugs don't apply to drugs given under the TRICARE Pharmacy Program. This coverage is temporary during the national health emergency due to the pandemic.
