TRICARE unveils new website design

American Forces Press Service

A new website design at www.tricare.mil gives beneficiaries a faster, more personalized way to get the TRICARE information they need. The redesign includes improvements to the profile entry field, as well as new sections such as “New to TRICARE,” “Crisis Center” and “Quick Links.”

The improved profile entry feature makes it easier and faster for beneficiaries to answer three simple questions about status, location and health care plan to bring up information specifically tailored to them.

Beneficiaries who are not sure which category they fall under can visit the “New to TRICARE” section to learn about eligibility, TRICARE plans and get enrollment information.

The “Quick Links” section provides easy access to the most popular topics beneficiaries use the TRICARE website to find – including what’s covered, contact information and locating a provider.

The global navigation bars, found at the top and bottom of each page on the redesigned website provides access to other TRICARE portals. Providers, TRICARE staff, media and others can access these portals to find information about the TRICARE Management Activity and how to become a TRICARE provider.

Beneficiaries can click on the “e-mail updates” link on the top bar to subscribe to e-alerts about changes to benefits and to get newsletters and news releases electronically direct from TRICARE.

Visit www.tricare.mil now to view TRICARE’s new design and offer feedback through the link on the bottom navigation bar.
