TRICARE offers three options for eligible
beneficiaries: Prime, Extra and Standard.
TRICARE Standard, formerly known as
CHAMPUS, offers beneficiaries the widest
choice of providers and facilities but also
has the highest cost-sharing requirements.
Active-duty family members, retirees and
retiree family members are encouraged to
enroll in TRICARE Prime. TRICARE Prime
enrolled beneficiaries have priority for care
within the Military Treatment Facility.
Active-duty service members assigned to Fort
Jackson are required to in-process through
the TRICARE Service Center to transfer their
Prime enrollment and their Primary Care
Manager to Moncrief Army Community Hospital.
