How to Find Civilian Providers in Tricare

Tricare is the military health care plan that covers active duty service men and women along with their dependents. Patients on Tricare Prime are only authorized to see physicians at their Military Treatment Facility (MTF) unless your Primary Care Manager (PCM) has been changed to a civilian physician. If you are on the Tricare Standard plan, you may see any physician in the network.
