Coordination of benefits

The order in which TRICARE and another health plan pay a claim.

Applies to: All TRICARE plans · All regions

Coordination of benefits is the order in which TRICARE and another health plan pay. When you have other health insurance, TRICARE is often the second payer. The official other-health-insurance rule decides the order for your case.

Tell your contractor about the other plan, and read TRICARE eligibility together with the contractor’s other-health-insurance instructions. This page does not assign a payer order.
