What is the TRICARE point-of-service option?

Direct answer: Under Prime, the point-of-service option lets you get care without the required referral. You pay more than you would for referred care. This page does not reprint that cost-share.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Details

The current cost-share is on TRICARE costs. Use point of service only when you have already decided to skip the referral, and expect the higher patient share.

What to do next

Confirm this with your Primary Care Manager or regional contractor before scheduling — rules can vary by region and by service.
