you didn't get, tell your TRICARE Regional Contractor

Call Your Regional Contractor First When Getting Specialty Care
June 29, 2016
TRICARE beneficiaries with special needs or a serious illness or injury have
several resources available for help. Your care is best coordinated through your
regional contractor.
It is important to call and remain in contact with your regional contractor.
Your regional contractor will have the most up-to-date list of providers and
know which of those providers have wait lists. If you contact a specialty care
provider directly, you could be on a wait list instead of getting the care you
or a family member needs.

Make Sure Your #MilKid Has Access to Care
June 28, 2016
If you have a new baby or have adopted a child, take the necessary steps to give
your child access to health care when they need it.
Step one; register your child, newborn or adoptee, in the Defense Enrollment
Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS). You don't have to wait the 2-6 months it
may take for a formal state department birth certificate. Step two; enroll your
child in Prime if you decide Prime is best for your family. You must take an
additional step to enroll your child, it is not automatic.
