TRICARE Select Details

TRICARE Select is a fee-for-service insurance plan that lets you see any doctor. If you visit a network doctor you normally will only have to pay a small copay when you visit. This plan is available to family members, veterans, and retirees. It is available worldwide.

If you visit a non-network doctor you may have to pay all charges up-front and file a claim with TRICARE for reimbursement.
