Medical
care for family members and service members within the Military
District Washington falls under the auspices of the TRICARE Program.
Each family relocating to the Washington DC area needs to register for
one of the TRICARE options in order to receive medical care.
The TRICARE Prime option allows family members to receive services at
their local military clinic or hospital. Recipients of the TRICARE
Prime option are able to choose the Military Treatment Facility (MTF)
from which they want to receive services and may choose the facility
closest to their homes, regardless of service branch. See your local
military health clinic or hospital for a list of TRICARE registration
sites.
Health Net Federal Services, Inc. is the new regional contractor
providing health care services and network-provider support in the
TRICARE North region.
