Process to deliver high quality medical outcomes
A Winning Partnership
Health care delivery under the TRICARE Overseas Program allows for transparency and partnership with US Defense Health Affairs leadership, ensuring access to quality health care by vetted, credentialed overseas providers even in the most austere challenging locations. The added complexities associated with foreign health systems, including instability and markedly fluctuating levels of quality of routine and specialty care require active patient care management to ensure compliance with the basic underlying TRICARE policy and expected US quality standards.
