During a divorce or an annulment, you may be concerned about what will happen to your family’s TRICARE coverage. If you’re in the process of getting a divorce or you’re recently divorced, here are some important things to keep in mind.

Recently injured? Whether it was a car accident or a slip on a wet floor, if someone else is at fault, federal law allows TRICARE to seek payment of your medical costs from that third party. Checking for third-party liability after an accident ensures proper billing coordination, compliance with the law, and that medical costs are covered by whoever is responsible.

When you receive a service, medication, or treatment as part of your TRICARE benefit, filing a claim is the way your provider gets reimbursed for their services. If you pay for services up front, filing a claim is how you get reimbursed. Read more to learn about when you need to file your own claim, how to view claim information, and how you can appeal a denied claim.

Military families can have a wide range of needs—and TRICARE has special programs to serve them. One of these programs is the Extended Care Health Option. ECHO is available to eligible active duty family members with special needs. It offers health care benefits beyond what other TRICARE plans offer.
