TRICARE FOR LIFE IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION

 

A separate beneficiary card is not required to receive health benefits under TRICARE For Life. Your Uniformed Services Identification (I.D.) card and your Medicare card are all you need for Medicare to pay first and TRICARE to pay second on your claims starting Oct. 1, 2001. In summer 2001, potentially eligible beneficiaries will receive a TRICARE For Life package that will include an information card, letter, benefit comparison chart, brochure, a survey form and return envelope for notifying TRICARE if you intend to cancel other health insurance. The information card is not needed to access care. The card is a handy (wallet-size) TRICARE For Life reference for you and your doctor.
