Stars and Stripes reports that TRICARE is to get the word out to servicemembers and their families what TRICARE will take care of them while they are traveling. If have to go to the emergency room and have to pay a bill afterward, you can file with TRICARE for reimbursement. For urgent care, which is non-emergency care that could worsen if not treated, TRICARE advises servicemembers to seek treatment at the nearest Military Treatment Facility or TRICARE Network Provider. A list of MTFs can be found online at www.TRICARE.osd.mil/mtf. For servicemembers traveling to remote areas where military treatment facilities are scarce, servicemembers can have TRICARE arrange medical assistance by contacting International SOS.
