TRICARE West Region Transitions April 1
3/29/2013
FALLS CHURCH, Va. - TRICARE beneficiaries in the West Region will get their
TRICARE coverage from a new contractor, UnitedHealthcare Military & Veterans,
starting April 1, 2013. By now, all West Region beneficiaries should have been
notified by mail of the change.
NOTE: The West Region includes AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, ID. IO (excluding Rock
Island Arsenal area), KS, MN, MS (except the St. Louis area), MO, NE, NV, NM,
ND, OR, SD, TX (the southwestern corner including El Paso), UT, WA, and WY.
UnitedHealthcare sent Welcome Packets to beneficiaries in February and March
with information about their enhanced services, any actions they need to take
and contact information should they have any questions. These packets were also
sent to TRICARE For Life (TFL) beneficiaries in the West Region to notify them
of the change. However, TFL beneficiaries need to take no action related to the
transition. Wisconsin Physician Services (WPS) remains the TFL contractor,
providing service to TFL beneficiaries across all TRICARE regions.
West Region beneficiaries with questions about their health care can contact
UnitedHealthcare at 1-877-988-WEST or visit the UnitedHealthcare website at
www.uhcmilitarywest.com.
The TRICARE Regional Office-West is working closely with UnitedHealthcare to
ensure the continued delivery of quality health care and customer satisfaction
during the transition. Both are committed to supporting military families and
look forward to providing the information and assistance to help beneficiaries
maximize their TRICARE health care benefits.
