Tricare (styled TRICARE), formerly known as the Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS), is a health care program of the United States Department of Defense Military Health System.
Like most civilian health insurance, TRICARE includes âOut-of-pocket costsâ that must be paid by the policyholder for treatment. After out-of-pocket expenses are paid, TRICARE pays the rest. TRICARE is divided into three different levels, TRICARE Standard, TRICARE Extra and TRICARE Prime.
