Urgent Health Care Options Expanded

Week of May 12, 2008

TRICARE Management Activity (TMA) directed the TRICARE Global Remote Overseas (TGRO) contractor, International SOS, to assist Active-Duty Servicemembers (ADSMs) with emergency and urgent care needs, even if they are in the vicinity of Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) overseas. In emergencies, ADSMs overseas should always go directly to the nearest emergency care facility or contact the TGRO Alarm Center to seek immediate emergency assistance and, if possible, coordinate the claims payment while still in the emergency room. Contact information for the TGRO Alarm Centers and TRICARE claims information is available in PDF format.
